Women literally make the world go round. Yet despite juggling all of life's crazy demands: giving birth and raising children, providing financial stability, and preparing healthy, home-cooked meals while still trying to find time to exercise, time with friends, and a moment occasional relaxation, women are still treated as "less than" in the workforce. The main challenges they face may include:

For decades, women have earned more bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees than men. Yet women throughout the world of work continue to earn less than their male counterparts.

One obstacle many women in the workforce face is sexual harassment

While the #MeToo movement has helped shed light on the issue, until now little was known about how many women are subjected to this type of abuse.

Unfortunately, race appears to play a large role in the way women are treated and compensated in the workplace. The salary a woman receives can vary based on her race and ethnicity.

There are numerous factors that show how women are mistreated in the world.

Gender gap in the workplace: It states that women are less likely to be hired for entry-level jobs than men, even though they are currently earning more bachelor's degrees and have the same dropout rate. As employees move up the corporate ladder, the disparity widens.

I hope this avails you an insight. All the very best for your future endeavors!
