  • Abstract:
  • The troubles and tribulations confronted by working women continue to be significantly apparent, notwithstanding the advancement in gender equality over the preceding few decades. A part of diversity management is working to achieve gender equality and create a comfortable working environment for women. However, in many organizations, gender biases and stereotypes frequently occur, consciously or unconsciously, regardless of whether women take on leadership roles. This article explores the multi-layered stumbling blocks that hinder women's social status and professional improvement in the workforce. Key challenges comprise persistent workplace discrimination and pestering, the continuing gender pay gap, and the teething troubles in balancing work and family life due to societal outlooks and inadequate sustenance systems. Furthermore, traditional gender customs and the glass ceiling effect contribute to the under-representation of women in leadership roles. By examining these issues, this article highlights the ongoing need for comprehensive policies and cultural shifts that support gender equality, aiming to improve the social and professional status of working women across all sectors.
