        abstract = {Gender equality and human rights at work is an essential dimension of poverty reduction, economic development and individual empowerment. In the past few decades, there have been huge strides with legislation, campaigns and corporate responsibility. But, despite these improvements, profound inequalities are still found in several areas of the workplace. Discriminatory practices such as differences in remuneration, barriers to accessing leadership positions, harassment, low presence in decision-making, discarding one‘s capabilities based on culture such as motherhood, continue to undermine the role of women and other marginalized groups. In addition, LGBTQ are often subject to discrimination, exclusion and the refusal of equal access to benefits and opportunities. This research paper seeks to analyze the root causes of gender inequality and human rights violations at workplaces. Finally, the study reinforces the notion that pursuing gender equality and human rights is not simply a matter of doing the right thing; it is also a matter of doing the smart thing if future growth of the modern global economy is to be sustainable. The results emphasize that a concerted effort from organizations is necessary to overcome these inequalities, which requires policy change, cultural change and accountability mechanisms; otherwise, improvements will be slow and uneven. The paper concludes by proposing solutions aimed at creating safer, fairer, and more inclusive workplaces where every individual can thrive regardless of gender, background or identity.},
