We, the people of 21st century have seen significant changes made around the world to empower women and make our society a better place for everyone. Even in this Modern Era, women face issues that may seem harmless to others but have a serious impact on their lives.

•Constant fear of being followed in a public area: Most women would not even think of going out alone especially at night. In the case of emergencies, they are extra cautious of their surroundings. This constant fear instilled by the daily news of crimes being committed against women, plays with our minds everyday. Again, it may seem normal to people who are fortunate to never have witnessed such situation but for a woman it is unsettling.

•Casual Sexism in workplace: Women face workplace sexism almost everyday, whether its a project being handed over to their male counterpart just because “Men work harder than Women” or them not being given their due credit because someone else stole their idea.

•Women and In-laws: After marriage women are expected to take care of their in-laws even if they are working and are often coerced into quiting their jobs so that they can take care of their “Family”, while men are under no such obligation.

I have mentioned only three points that I have seen women go through for almost everyday. There are many issues that women belonging to a particular section of society go through like female mutilation and many more. I would like to hear your thoughts on the same.
