Women 's Rights : Women, Employment, Education, And Politics

There are many social injustice issues that the world is facing today. Many ethnic and racial groups are still fighting hard against prejudice and discrimination. Another group that is still facing inequality today, is women. When it comes to inequality in the world today, women as a whole get overlooked. We like to think that we have evolved in our culture and have come so far that often when we think about inequality, we tend to focus and think about minorities such as African Americans, Native Americans and the like. We don’t really think about women and inequality, most people think of women having the same rights and privileges as everyone else does in America, but after doing research and looking at statistics women inequality is still

Being born and raised in America, I and many other Americans have been taught that we live in a country of freedom. Women and men are treated equally; every human being has rights, and you have the freedom to move at will and without restrictions. Women have come a long way in our country, gaining rights ever since the dawn of patriarchy and proving that they are just as good as men with the ability to think, speak, and act for themselves. However, discrimination of women still exists in America and many other countries, but women are taking a stand and trying to eliminate the inequality between genders, such as the difference in salaries, and the bad representation of and portrayal of women in the media.

Women have virtually the same rights as men. However, the fault needing to be recognized in today’s society is the way that women are treated. Even in simple areas, such as jobs, women are put on the back burner. A woman is able to become a CEO of a company, nonetheless, she will struggle twice as hard as a man would. Even as an employee, women are statistically paid less than men are.

Women have always played an important role in the formation of the United States, despite the fact that women are considered less able and less qualified than men throughout America’s history. During times of war, women were forced to pick up the jobs that were left behind as men marched off to other countries and then leave them when the men came back home. Women have always been treated as the primary homemaker, raising children and cooking meals for their husbands, even after more and more women are forced to work to survive. There is a double standard for women and it is deeply rooted in America’s history. Women have fought for equality, justice, and change from the very beginning. Women are still fighting now. While there have been a great

Sadly, women today are still treated as inferior to men, especially in the workforce. Women are being paid less than men for the same quality of work and it is simply unacceptable. It is 2016, not the 1950’s,

Women need to be looked to differently; they have found, over the years, ways to get past the obstacles of inequality, and strengthen and support themselves through the very adversity that would have kept them weak. It is therefore not just a matter of gender equality but rather something that can be learned from the gender differences.

In the United States, there are many human equal rights for women, but they are insufficient to create equality. Despite of many equality rules gender inequality still exists and that’s the fact. In history, women were not allowed to study or work. In modern world women are achieving educational goals and also working. Does that mean women are getting equal treatments? The answer is no, women are not treated as equals as men. The graduation rates for women are higher than men, but in workplaces you can not see that ratio. Today, women are working in almost every field and defining their selves very well, but they are not getting equal payment and recognition as men. Even in society women are expected to take care of

In today 's day and age, we still seem to be fighting for gender equality even though we are in the year 2016 and women were considered equal in the 1920 's. As American citizens so many people talk about how women should get equal pay and how women can do what men can do, yet we often forget that men get

Throughout history, it has been proven that women have been neglected and looked down on by men. They were denied the right to vote as if they were not even recognized as human beings. African American men got the right to vote before women did. Women have been looked upon as objects or trophies and not given the respect as they deserve. Women should be treated fairly, equal to men and need to be acknowledged as such. In many cases, women working with the same qualifications are paid less than men, doing the same job. In 2015 studies showed that women were only paid 80% of what men were paid. A hefty 20% gap was in place (Miler,2017). Back then, 1 in every 3 women would be working for a wage, not a good one at that (Danzer).

Recent rights development has sought to justify the civilization and the importance of rights by reference to some overriding value, such as freedom, fairness, independence, equality, quality of life, and dignity.

For over one hundred years women have been fighting for equality. It wasn’t until the 19th century that women would start to be seen as equal to men. From the start of America women were seen as men property, and not as citizens of the United States. Women were expected to bare children, tend to household duties; furthermore, if they had an inheritance or any money it went to their husbands. Women did not have the right to vote or run for any type of government office. Even as women started to gain more freedom and rights, they still would be faced with inequality into the 19th century and even today. Though the views and rights of women equality has changed through the year’s research still shows that women are

allowed to work, but unfortunately women are not being treated the same manner in which a man is treated in a work setting. Women go through a lot of obstacles in a workplace, this should not be happening at this time in date. We as a society tend to say we have grown and prosper and that this is the land of opportunity, but how can such a statement be said if women are not given the same opportunity as men are. In a work setting women tend to be paid much less the man is paid for doing the same exact job. Then because women are paid less its affects them in their daily life. Women also face the difficulties of not being promoted as often as men are in a work setting. After facing such difficulties in a work setting they still have issues of sexual harassment to deal with. Then, if women choose to become pregnant, they have another difficulty to face. Overall the worst obstacle and what I feel is the one that starts all of this is the challenge of women being hired for a job. The only reason why women are not treated the same is a simple observation if a person is male or female makes all the difference in a work setting.

For hundreds of years men and women have had some equality issues, and there has been many stereotypes for certain things men and women can do. For example, women are known to be nurses, while men are more known to be mechanics . Also if you look into our government there are mostly filled with men , and only a few women . But for some reason women are always looked-over or mistreated worse than men Also men have been also making more money while women make less sometimes while working the same jobs . Equality for men and women is what I’m asking for . “On average , full-time working women earn just 78 cents for every dollar a man earns” (Your Right To Equal Pay ). This quote from the text shows how even when women who work hard still ends

Gender inequality continues to be a constant battleground in many societies today. Humanity requires both genders, we are both equal and need each other. Yet women are being constantly being looked down up and treated far less than what they deserve. Discrimination is something many women face and we have all grown accustomed to it and that is where the problem lies. Women do not have equal right in their roles in society and it’s high time that we eliminate discrimination against women.

A war rages in every home and in every workplace. This war has been fought for many years. This war needs fighters, it needs you. This war is gender equality. I am fighter for equality, not the advantage of just one gender. I am not afraid of the opinions that will clash with what I fight for. My determination will never waver, just because someone tells me to “make them a sandwich” or “a woman is meant to be a pretty little housewife”; I do not plan on being a housewife and they can make their own sandwiches. A person should not be judged based on their gender, but by the quality of their character. Women should not have the advantage, nor should men. Equality is the quality or state of being equal (‘Equality”). To have equality, one gender should not hold superior role. To properly fight this war, of inequality, we will need to understand the dilemma, the origin of the problem, the consequences, and what our fighters can do to make a difference.
