So, while there is improvement in few privileged areas, including local government departments, outside these millions of women are still expected to work fewer paid hours and to earn less for every hour that they work. Too many women aren t reaping the fruits of feminism. They are still waiting for the first shoots to show. They are still stuck in the world that many of us would like to forget, where women are, simply, poorer and more oppressed than men. But for some reason, women aren t expected to care about that any more.
Women have to respect the rights of men too.
They should recognise their own roles and duties, particularly in the context of the family. The fortunes, attitudes and expectations of young women are changing. As girls forge ahead at school, surpassing boys at almost every level of examination, many of them must find it hard to imagine that beyond the school room there will be heavy blocks to ambitions. Unless action is taken now, many women in this optimistic generation will face much of the same discrimination in the workplace that their mothers did before them. In order to substantially improve the situation, we must generate awareness about the role a woman can play in the society.
