Problems Faced by Working Women at their Workplace: A Survey Research in Islamabad
Abstract
This study explored the difficulties faced by Pakistani working women in Islamabad within a sociocultural context where traditional gender standards held influence. It looked into the widespread problems of gender inequality, gender-based violence, and gender discrimination in the workplace to comprehend their significant effects on women's personal and professional lives. The study investigated the complex mechanisms that limited women's access to equal opportunities and undercut their contributions to the workforce, drawing on a wide range of literary works and cultural views. The research clarified the importance of tackling these issues globally through a thorough investigation, especially in light of the current state of the economy and growing inflation. This study aimed to inform policy reforms and actions targeted at building a more inclusive and equitable workplace environment by clarifying the underlying reasons and implications of the challenges experienced by working women. In the end, it aimed to promote gender equality and social progress by advocating for the acknowledgement and empowerment of working women.
