Five Main Challenges Faced By Women around the Globe
Though women
are given the highest position in our holy books but ever since history
they never get the credit which they deserve for. Though, the condition of
women has improved from ancient to modern world with respect to equality,
dignity, freedom from discrimination; and on the platform of getting jobs.
Women have also served at
the top positions in the Indian government and around the globe, including the

gender inequality and dowry.
