Q.24. Elaborate on the disadvantages & discrimination faced by women.

Women are vulnerable to disadvantages and  discriminations in almost every sphere of public and private life. They face gender discrimination at the workplace as they are paid less than the male counterparts.  They are not considered for promotions over men inspite of having the capabilities.  In private lives, they are victim of patriarchal societies that  insists on the subordination of women statuses.  Women are confined to the four walls of the house and are meant to do domestic chores.   Dowry deaths, female foeticide, acid attacks, eve- teasing, molestation and rapes are some extreme forms of  atrocities faced by women till date. Politically, also the position of women is low compared to men.
