Gender Inequality in the U.S. Today | Trust Women
Obviously, there are large disparities in the number of women managers and leaders despite the fact that women make up half of the workforce. This is true gender inequality, a gender difference in power and status. Ignoring gender inequality in the U.S. or assuming the glass ceiling is broken when it’s not is dangerous. In the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report of 2010, the United States number 19 in terms of gender equality. A failure to recognize the problem of gender inequality in the U.S. is the perfect way to assure that we’ll never solve the problem.

The sense of insecurity, humiliation and helplessness always keep a women mum. Our whole socialisation is such that for any unsuccessful marriage which results in such violence or divorce, it is always the woman, who is held responsible. Cultural beliefs and traditions that discriminate against women may be officially discredited but they continue to flourish at the grass root levels. Family relations in India are governed by personal laws. The four major religious communities are – Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Parsi each have their separate personal laws. They are governed by their respective personal laws in matters of marriage, divorce, succession, adoption, guardianship and maintenance. In the laws of all the communities, women have fewer rights than that of man in corresponding situations. It is really that women of the minority communities in India continue to have unequal legal rights and even the women of the majority community have yet to gain complete formal equality in all aspects of family life. This is basically the problem of gender inequality. But what is this problem and how this can be solved.
