Leave the primitive working environment! No more need to spend a life time in the struggle for gender equality. It is 2017 not 1817!

The very best way is to ensure they engage in continuous improvement of themselves in terms of competence and expertise in their chosen careers. Most times, professionalism is fair to all in considering the "best fit" whenever a position is to be filled.

Well. By enhancing their skills in particular fields. Surely its about the region where you belong or your work. Surely in UAE females Welders, fabricators, Helpers and Masons are not suitable but it does not mean that its gender discrimination. Also i know many ladies who are working on good posts and they are preference of the employee due to their skills.

What kind of gender challenges? Please cite examples.

My answer. Women are overcomers. We are far more overachievers. We can do things every man can do now. We just have to work as every man work. Think the way men thinks. 

Gender Challenges creates dividedness among individuals.

Thanks to invite.

In present era gender preference is no more problem due to professional competition. If any female is facing the problem then she must be groomed with self confidence and necessary training may be the useful tool to survive in professional life. Education with sound professional knowledge is the best source of confidence.

Women should stop feeling less of their selves and don't always consider men as superior because in some cases u could actually be better than the men in some field. Women should learn to top up their game in their chosen career and thrive to be the best. Don't always play the victim that needs care and attention rather be bold, smart and full of confidence

Women have proved their prowess in the field they have chosen speak of technology,education,science,research, medical,space and so on.Men have even started to compete them in similar positions.Men have even started developing complex when women have out performed them at job in education and I. The field. So,I believe women seldom get gender biased treated in work place in present society and so not have worry on that count.However it is mans word you know men are naughty at times and women need to worry of aggression men show which may hurt women and so women should develop physical skills nowadays in order to overcome bias for being from a fairer sex.

A women cannot alone overcome that challenge completely, but she can at least have a initiative by making the organization aware about the channages they face and what the organization can do to achieve gender equality by bring them slowly in their culture to have as one of the competencies of the organization to achieve gender equality.
