Around the world ,women have been viewed as passive. The role of women has changed over the years ,yet women inequality continues to persist .Before the 19th Amendment was approved , women had no rights and were controlled by their husbands. Once the 19th Amendment came around women had the hope to becoming more independent,but once again were brought down and making them vulnerable. Women had suffered of gender discrimination and still do till this day. Women should have equal rights as men do.
Women can work the same or even harder than men do and still get paid unfairly. The gender wage gap ,is the difference between male and female earnings expressed as a percentage of male earnings, it is not only about the inequality towards the pay. Higher pay industries or jobs are often dominated by men as Pay Scale stated. According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) , women get paid seventy-eight cents for every dollar a man makes . Depends what ethnic you are classified in the less you will get paid. For example Black women get paid sixty-four cents and a Latina woman gets paid fifty-four cents for every dollar a white man gets paid for. Most women go through some sexual harassment,involving the making of unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks,in their lives . “Our most recent data shows that women and girls nationwide experienced about 270,000 rapes or sexual assaults annually,”(The Shriver Report). Not only are they assaulted in public places or homes but in their jobs too. Women deserve to be protected and to be safe. Some men want to intimidate women and to show who has more power. "Harassment is a way for a man to make a woman vulnerable."said Dr. John Gottman.
