Abstract
A woman has always been an instrument for the other gender
in all kinds of social affairs. Earlier, her consent wa s completely
missing declaring ‘her’ powerless in front of ‘him’. The reason
was her lack of awareness and exposure to the outer world that
kept her behind the scenes and, even after contributing more
than what she could, she had been subjected to the multiplicity
of psychological and physical abuses. Unless she belonged to
some elite family, she was the last thing in the world to care
about. This write up sheds light on how gender discrimination
has evolved over time especially in the business milieu, women
transforming from less valued domestic species to vital faction
well-equipped with a strategic mind-set to fit in any level of
organisation from clerical to the top executive positions and
capable enough to compete with the opposite gender.
Highlighting certain stereotypes, misconceptions and
prejudices about women, it is also discussed that how today’s
women can and do cope with these accusations acknowledging
their powers and uniqueness. As a help from formal platforms
to address gender baseness, some examples of discrimination
related acts and laws in various countries are also mentioned
here.
