From time immemorial, women have been at a disadvantage both socially and economically. Due to them being considered as inferior to the men, they were relegated to the background and considered to be only good for the kitchen. Over time, movements such as women suffrage and feminism have changed the perception of women in our society and made them more relevant.
However, women continue to face struggles that are unique to them. One of the places where that is evident is in society and the workplace. The idea of women becoming leaders in politics and work is something that many people remain uncomfortable with due to established prejudices. This has led to different barriers preventing women from reaching their potential. For every woman that shatters the glass ceilings and reaches her potential, there are many others who are kept down for no other reason than because of their gender.
