Abstract

All through the beginning of time, women have been viewed as second-class citizens. In a culture where males predominate, patriarchal standards have prescribed the dos and don'ts for women in every area of their life, including how they should behave in public to how they should choose to reproduce. The public realm has long been considered the domain of men, with few women dashing into the dangerous waters of the workforce. Those working women confront a variety of difficulties in the job, regardless of their position. Women frequently encounter issues with harsh treatment, lengthy workdays, a lack of vacation or holidays, poor pay, and job instability. Women confront discrimination at work in the form of uneven compensation for equal effort, sexual harassment, inadequate sanitary facilities, dangerous roads and transportation, promotion denials, and other issues. This chapter aims to offer a critical and analytical viewpoint on the different problems that the women face in the workplace. This chapter will explore the current worldwide legislative frameworks protecting women workers based on secondary sources. It also emphasises the part played by the Indian Government in ensuring that workplaces are safe and equal for women by upholding the various articles of the Constitution. The study ends with a few ideas that, if put into practise, may significantly help empower women and give them the confidence they need to succeed in the workplace.
