Promote the deserving not the gender.

 Gender Discrimination at Workplace

It is a fact that discrimination prevails in our society, and most of the time the victims are women. Women in India face discrimination at each and every stage of their life whether it is the time of pocket money, education, sports or promotion at a job, All discriminations are lethal for the development of the country but one which is the most serious issue of Indian corporate circle is that women are paid and promoted less than men. It is considered that a man is more work efficient than a woman, major promotion opportunities are given to men and while we say women are moving shoulder to shoulder with men they are forced to prove themselves efficient at all times.

Gender discrimination are increasing rapidly, there has been a lot of buzz about it in the news, Everyday you hear about a new story about how the above evil took place in some or the other workplace. It doesn't just means that a job was given to an equally deserving male as the female but also the case of promoting, or the case when the reason to fire an employee is that she is pregnant. Many a times, women (housewives) generally step out of their houses during their difficult times to deal with the hardships to earn to provide the basic necessities to their family and hence the employers take the advantage of the situation by providing lower salaries irrespective of the qualities or qualifications of the employee and the women are forced to accept the low salaries.

Women are supposed to be humble, modest and accommodating, and are instantly seen as being weak or emotional if they find it difficult to take a tough decision or stand. Even loans are denied to single women and they are marginalised to a large extent even among the literate community. Women are not perceived as successful even if they make progress in their careers if they are not able to manage their home front. Even when a mistake is committed by a male, he is left off the hook and if the same mistake a female commits grudges are held. This has to stop women must learn to a stand for themselves because as long as this type of discrimination prevails in the society there is no way our country can develop and flourish as the largest democratic nation should.
