Ladies of Hive Community Contest #67 - Women and achievement

As I contemplate this amazing broad topic on women and their achievements over the last couple of centuries, I attempt to steady my thinking as it is quickly going into overdrive. Because you see, women have had to assert themselves, be in every bun fight for equality and recognition to get where they are today.

And while women can pat ourselves on the back for the great gains made, one very major current issue gets my gander up; the continuing inequality of salary paid to women compared to their male counterparts in numerous jobs ranging from corporate work, acting and television roles to hands on labouring jobs and shop assistants, etc. Ability, qualifications, experience and gender equality are strong arguments.

So yes, the ongoing battle for equality continues in 2022. While it is acknowledged that good gains are being made with the co-sharing and caring of babies with partners, women in some workplaces face demotion on their return to work. They do not always get to work in the same position and level in a company.

It is indeed complicated with companies already recognising women workers as equal while others have a way to go. In my eyes, an easy solution to wage equality is to make the pay structure the same for men and women who are doing the same work.

Women have been and continue to be immensely strong, resilient and passionate in their fight for equality, giving up is not a part of the female psychic. Once wage equality is achieved issues like work place bullying and sexual harassment of women by some male colleagues is a fight that need to carry on.

Regards to all my fellow Ladies of Hive. I am proud to be a woman.

This is so much for women to put up with, though we are grateful for the many victories in some sector.
Am possibly thinking of strict punishment for sexual harassment and the likes that will instill fear in the counter gender offending our women.

Its really sad that not much have been achieved by women here in Nigeria and we still have a large percentage of women who are denied education and given in marriage for child bearing as their only role been a weaker vessel as presumed.

Stricter punishment would have to be a deterrent @monica-ene. It is really sad that women in Nigeria continue to experience a lack of education and such terrible treatment.
I remember my father saying to me in 1970 that I did not need to go to uni as I would get married and become a housewife. So that thinking is really very recent in our society too. Of course I took no notice of him, my mother was my greatest support.
So very nice to meet you. Angie💜

Thank you!

the continuing wage inequality paid to women compared to their male counterparts in numerous jobs ranging from corporate work, acting and TV roles to manual labor and sales clerks, etc. Ability, qualification, experience and gender equality are compelling arguments.

Our next step is to achieve pay equity. Equal knowledge, equal effort, equal pay.

Good morning @tibaire ........ one day there will be positive changes.
