GENDER INEQUALITY

Gender inequality refers to inequality between individuals due to gender, where by one of the gender is usually favoured or undermined then the other.

Does it still exist? even today people still experience gender inequality so it is safe to say that it does exist, especially women in most of the working area they sometimes need to work twice as the male work in order to to be seen that that they have the quality and qualifications of a man and even then they will still be treated not equally than the other gender.

what is a glass ceiling? it refers to a barrier that invisibly does not allow one to develop or move to the higher stage.how can individuals break through the glass ceiling? for someone to break through it one has to work very hard to prove to people that she know what she is doing and she does it excellently. women have to look at  glass ceiling as a challenge that will lead to their success and work hard to prove that they too deserve to climb up to the ladder of success and they should always take matter of their work seriously only then will they be able to break the glass ceiling in the society.

Are there any other forms of glass ceilings that are faced by those other than women? yes there other forms of glass ceilings out there racism and other form of discrimination can be grouped as forms of glass ceilings and these kind of glass ceilings also include other genders besides from women most of these glass ceilings happen in big companies where may be a person of different kind of race than whites has to work harder to prove that he also qualifies to be where his white workmate is, this kind of glass ceilings  does not require one to be a woman in order to face it even men face these type of glass ceiling.

In my opinion gender inequality  in a world of today should be abolished because women have proved to have the same efficiency as men and that they should not be a judgement of ones efficiency on work or what they do based on gender or race they should be based on their qualifications and how well they do their work.
