			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The last time Richa Arora left her office it was because her boss, barely a month old in the organization bagged a promotion over Miss hardworking her. She called her second job quits because certain nobody from her company often made her feel ‘uncomfortable’ around him.<br />
Archita Nayar, an executive with a Delhi based MNC is on the verge of quitting her job. The reason: Her boss recently pulled her cheeks while congratulating her for meeting her monthly targets.<strong> </strong></p>
<p>Everyone agrees that workplace discrimination has no place in the modern business world. But not everyone understands the laws that protect employees against discrimination. Discrimination at work is a matter of serious concern for organizations all over the world.  Differentiating people on basis of certain characteristics like age and gender or on grounds such as race and religion is discrimination. Gender discrimination is unequal and unfair handling based on a person&#8217;s gender or sex.</p>
<p>Women are the one who suffer; it is harder sometimes for women in comparison with man, to find a good job. Moreover, if they get a good one people try to take advantage of them &amp; women are getting less salary as compare to men. <strong>Another words woman is the one who face discrimination every day.</strong> As we known women can do anything as men can but still women are back. Gender discrimination in the workplace is not only harmful to the professional growth of an individual but also limits the growth of business firm. There are laws to prevent violation of employees, be it on the basis of gender, age or race. People should realize that gender discrimination at workplace is a serious form of employment discrimination. Gender discrimination at work place is <strong>unlawful &amp; punishable</strong> offense.</p>
<p><strong>Preventing Gender Discrimination at Work</strong></p>
<p>While the law and the courts already have taken a hard stand against gender discrimination and provide protection under the law for victims of it, employers can also take steps to prevent it:</p>
<p>1. Clearly communicate <strong>Gender Discrimination</strong> will not be tolerated</p>
<p>2. Provide training on what constitutes Gender Discrimination to employees</p>
<p>3. Establish an effective grievance or complaint process</p>
<p>4. Take immediate, effective action whenever such a case occurs</p>
<p>Many women organizations are doing their best to bring women rights and empowerment. <strong><a href="http://naukriforwomen.com/">http://naukriforwomen.com</a> </strong>which is totally dedicated to female job aspirants. <strong><a href="http://naukriforwomen.com/">http://naukriforwomen.com</a></strong> aims to help women build their careers, without compromising their other responsibilities. This is a good initiative to reduce the disparity between the sexes in work environments &amp; to bring the women empowerment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Crimes against women in India is at an all time rise. From the beginning and through the year we only heard promises and attended seminars for improving the plight of women. But we don&#8217;t see any work done. There are many organizations and trusts that are working on this issues. But is that enough??? How many people are working for those organizations?? How many woman are reacting against violence???</p>
<p><strong>Alcoholism:</strong> If we go deep down into the reason for this kind of a crime, alcoholism comes foremost. Alcoholism makes life miserable not just for the person drunk, but also for his family which includes women at its forefront.</p>
<p><strong>Empowerment:</strong> Many people think empowerment is biggest problem. There are many organisations like <a href="http://www.cry.org/index.html">CRY</a> who are giving education to children&#8217;s. Its really important to give education to everybody since education is one of the key to empowerment.  Yes, low literacy among women is the biggest problem but there are many other things to keep in mind to solve this issue. Women education in India is improving, but at a very slow rate.</p>
<p><strong>Mindset:</strong> Empowerment alone does not seem to have solved the problem. What is needed is a change in the mindset of men, which will go a long way in redressing the balance in the gender equation.</p>
<p>Sex determination tests through techniques such as ultrasonography and amniocentesis are banned in India, but female child is still commonly killed in some regions where a preference for son runs deep. As a result, the government says around 10 million girls have been killed by their parents — either before or immediately after birth — over the past 20 years. This is really not a small problem, but in the years to come will be the biggest social issue. For this we have to change mindset of men as well as there family members. Because in many cases grandparents support their son to kill the granddaughter.</p>
<p><strong>Culture:</strong> The culture is such that whenever a girl gets married to a man, however bad he may be, her inclination is to stay with him till the end.&#8221; Many victimized wives see no alternative but to stay in their husbands&#8217; households, the only option they believe is available to them in a society that stigmatizes divorce. Now women can only change this mindset. We have to teach women how to react in such situations. We as women, have to change this attitude of society towards divorced women.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://mavaindia.org">MAVA (Men Against Voilence And Abuse)</a>  and <a href="http://ncrb.nic.in/home.htm">National Crime Records Bureau</a> in every 29 minutes one Rape happen. In every 15 minutes Molestation, every 53 minutes sexual harrasment, every 16minutes murder, every 9 minutes cruelty act and every 77 minutes dowry death. Many organizations like this holds seminars for woman and their families. They teach woman how to react, how to fight. They have one day workshops on self defense for woman. We should take part in all these workshops. We should not be dependent on anyone even for our physical protection. Yes, we should think of our family, but if anybody does crime against us, we should react. Today we will react, after watching us many other woman will react. Join a cause that supports women and help make India proud.</p>
<p>Now a days girls have higher positions in office. They also have 33% reservation. But is it proving beneficial?? If we can&#8217;t get respect then its not of any use.</p>
<p><strong>Reality Shows (Pun Intended)</strong><br />
Have you ever thought why talented girls are eliminated at the beginning in reality talent hunts?? Reason is many girls give vote to guys. Why cant people see talent in girls??</p>
<p>I really admire an award ceremony like <a href="http://www.indiantelevision.com/headlines/y2k6/aug/aug68.htm">Zee Astitva Awards</a>. That is a small effort to celebrate and encourage the versatile role of women in Indian society. There should be many events like this to encourage those woman who are having great role in society.</p>
<p>As many people said cause of problem is woman and woman is the one who solves the problems. So if you will not react for crimes against you, you will cause problems for yourself and for other women in society.</p>
<p>Please go ahead, be part of some organisations and change the mindset of people. And help build our nation. You are power of this nation, so make our nation powerful and try to solve this biggest problem.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ncw.nic.in/page9.htm">Eve-teasing</a> is one major harassment for women across the world. Its been known by different words all around the world. &#8220;Tease&#8221; according to the <a href="http://m-w.com" target="_blank">Merriam-Webster</a> is: <em>to disturb or annoy by persistent irritating or provoking especially in a petty or mischievous way</em></p>
<p>But should lewd comments, indecent touch, pinching, groping be categorized as only mischievous ?? These certainly are way beyond petty mischief and hence calling them eve-teasing is completely incorrect. These are crimes bigger than robbery and theft, since you are violating the privacy or trespassing someone else&#8217;s body &amp; mind.</p>
<p>Today, Women in India are such a big voice. They are holding major posts at offices, have a bigger voice at homes, have a bigger representation of India to the world. But then, street harassment has also increased as more and more women come out of their homes. Government needs to make strict laws to curb street harassment of women. But tackling the roots of the problem in this case is more important. The root cause for this crime is the male mind/body and the female mind/body. Social acceptance to women liberties is one necessity to reduce such crimes against women. Men should be inculcated with values of respect towards women, while women should gather the respect for herself. Shoma Chatterji <a href="http://www.indiatogether.org/2007/sep/wom-evetease.htm">here</a>, analyzes the issue beautifully, with some remedies to the issue. <a href="http://www.blanknoiseproject.blogspot.com/">The Blank Noise Project</a>, is another idea that is gathering momentum on issues of eve-teasing and different experiences shared by women on eve-teasing.</p>
<p>Just support from women is not enough to tackle this issue. Men need to be made aware about the dignity of women. <a href="http://www.mavaindia.org">MAVA is another organization</a> that&#8217;s working towards this cause and has organized various workshops for men on this issue. It also has a popular &#8220;Defense Workshop For Women&#8221; which aims to make women more self-reliant when such harassment takes place.</p>
<p>Hopefully, the work from these and many other organizations will help shape a free, liberal society for women, where men and women live in harmony</p>
