becoming raise day by day. The sky rocketing cost of
living, increasing expenses on education of children,
increasing cost of housing properties in India, force
every family in India to look for ways and means of
increasing the household income.
 Women in India who were mostly known as
homemakers are forced to go for jobs and take up
even careers that were considered only suitable for
men such as working in night shifts in call centers.

Problems faced by working women
 We all talk of gender equality, woman
empowerment and female education; but
how far it has achieved in reality? Coming
this far, evolving, civilizing, modernizing;
the lot of women is very less changed in
reality.
 A woman plays so many roles (of daughter,
sister, wife, daughter-in-law, mother…)
and for ages has been a multi-tasker ; one
who cook food, does the domestic works,
raises kids, and cares for everyone.
 She works 24X7, never complains and asks
no remuneration.
 Inequalities in wages.

 Discrimination at Work
 Challenges to Safety, Life and Dignity
 Non-acceptance of Talent, Offered Disrespect
 Family Duties
 Juggling Between Work, Home, Relationships and
Personal Life
 Ego of Male Counterpart
 Low Dignity and No Ownership of Her Own Earning
 Sexual Harassment
 Safety of Working Women While Traveling
 Domestic Violence
Source : Indian Journal of Social Work
Discrimination at Work
 Discrimination starts at the very level of recruitment
and interview, where recruiters/interviewers see
women incompetent for challenging roles and ask
questions like whether you would be able to continue
after marriage ?
Challenges to Safety, Life and Dignity
 Sexual harassment, theft, molestation, eve-teasing,
etc. are some of the forms of challenges working
women face to their safety, life and dignity.
Source : Indian Journal of Social Work
Non-acceptance of Talent,
Offered Disrespect!
 A woman going out to work in many societies in seen very
lowly and questioned about her character/moral.
 A working woman who is beautiful or well-maintained or
presentable or is friendly with everyone and is progressing in
her career instead of being complimented is disrespected and
disgusted; is questioned/remarked on her dignity and morals.
Family Duties
 In today’s modern era, even after working in the
corporate world and after taking up challenging roles of
executives/directors/marketing professional/IT
professionals, etc.; the age old image of a woman of
being a home-maker is not much changed.
 Even if she works, comes home tired/has to leave early
for office; she is expected to cook food, take care of
kids and all other household duties and the male
counterparts may volunteer but they hold no
responsibilities.
Juggling Between Work, Home, Relationships
and Personal Life
 Amid all the dilemma and stretch of balancing the job
responsibilities, following her passion, going ahead with her
aspirations and looking after her family-kids-husband; a woman
handles and balances a big lot of stress, which deprives her of
peace, rest, sleep, independent though and luxury to be herself
Ego of Male Counterpart
One of the most tough to handle challenges is to manage and cope
with the ego of your male counterpart as wife/partner.
 Males do support women to go out and work, but somewhere
they find it hard to accept the progress and achievement of women
whether she is his colleague or life partner.
Low Dignity and No Ownership of
Her Own Earning
 Mostly women are not seen as independent earners,
who command respect and dignity. Instead is seen as
a small back-wheel of a heavy vehicle and thus, her
role and contribution is mostly over looked.
 In most of the families, especially middle class,
upper middle class and lower middle class; it’s seen
that the income of the woman either goes in the hands
of her father or husband, rather than in her hands.
Sexual Harassment
 Every single day a woman when steps out, stays out whole day working
while travelling, in office, in field, in canteen, in outdoor meetings…;
directly/indirectly she is subjected to a lot of sexual abuses and
harassment.
 It’s not always with hands she is hurt, but she is attacked and hurt with
eyes, with tongue, with gestures and of course unfortunately physically.
 A few women wave off, ignore and move on; some disgust them to the
very soul, out there is no way out so with tears or suppressed anger they
move on; while some root off their dignity and even existence.
Safety of Working Women While Travelling
 Typically, the orthodox mindset in the Indian society
makes it difficult for a working woman to balance her
domestic environment with the professional life.
 In some families, it may not be acceptable to work after
six o’clock. Those families that do accept these working
hours may experience considerable anxiety every day
about a woman’s safety while traveling. So many issues
affect a working woman because she is closely protected or
watched by her family and the society.
 According to survey conducted by ASSOCHAM, on 1000
women professionals, around 80 per cent of the households
expect their daughters-in-law to prioritize household
requirements over the official work.
Cont…
• Further, many of them are physically and
psychologically abused, by their in-laws and husband
but they do not complain or let others know about it,
particularly if they have children
Domestic Violence
 "Any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling,
threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those
aged 16 or over who are or have been intimate partners
or family members regardless of gender or sexuality.
• This can encompass but is not limited to the following
types of abuse:
i. psychological
ii. physical
iii. sexual
iv. financial
v. emotional

 a woman is raped every 29 minutes
 a dowry death occurs every 77 minutes
one case of cruelty committed by either the
husband or relative of the husband occurs
every nine minutes

society)
 Accident or injury while carrying out duties.

I. Shivery(66%)

(Srinivasan S and Iliango P, 2019)
Protective provisions

 Section 27 of the Factories Act, 1948 prohibits employment of

Cont…

maternity benefit to female beneficiaries of the
Welfare Fund.

• Dowry Prohibition Act: any property or valuable (direct
or indirect) given before, at or after the marriage
• Section 304B: Death of a woman within 7 years of her
marriage

woman to cruelty (“intentional” behaviour that causes
serious injury or harassment for dowry)
• Section 376: Rape law
• Section 294: Obscene acts and songs
• Section 354: Intent to outrage a woman’s modesty
SUGGESTIONS
 Women should be educated. When she is educated, she can manage
her dual responsibility of home and work.
 Women should be made aware of their constitutional and legal rights
both in their work and in the social sphere.
 The attitude of the husband and family members should be changed
towards the working women. Husband should come forward to
share her burden.
 She should be given financial freedom.
 Wage gap between men and women should be eliminated.
 Women should change their attitude about themselves. They should
be self confident in their approach.
 More seminars, conferences and workshops on women should be
organized. They should be encourage to participate in them and
express their views.
(Yojana, March 2020)
Conclusion
 Women don’t know their rights properly .
 It’s time for people to change their thinking about
working women. They should be treated equivalent to
a working man.
Thank
You

Those families that do accept these working hours may experience considerable anxiety every day about a woman’s safety while traveling. So many issues affect a working woman because she is closely protected or watched by her family and the society.  According to survey conducted by ASSOCHAM, on 1000 women professionals, around 80 per cent of the households expect their daughters-in-law to prioritize household requirements over the official work.
