Women's Employment Rights

Women's employment rights refer to legal protections and entitlements that ensure women have equal opportunities and fair treatment in the workplace. These rights include protection from discrimination based on gender, the right to equal pay for equal work, maternity leave, and the right to work in a safe environment free from harassment. Laws like the Equal Pay Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act in the U.S. aim to promote gender equality. Understanding and advocating for these rights promotes a more equitable work environment, benefiting not just women, but society as a whole.
