Essay One
Gender discrimination has been an issue of concern. Many people have been subjected to discrimination because of their gender. In the workplace, a lot of people especially the female are often oppressed because of their feminism. A lot of employers have taken the advantage of the females to treat them as less important as compared to their male counterparts.
In the workplace, the females are discriminated during recruitment, remuneration and promotion. Instead of treating the female workers in a similar manner to the male employees, many employers discriminate upon them. For instance, when there is a job vacancy to be filled, a qualified female applicant can be rejected even if she emerges top. The same thing is repeated when there is need for promotion, salary increments and maternity leaves. Instead of giving them equal treatment just like their male colleagues, many employers deliberately choose to oppress them. Surprisingly, a woman employee is often denied maternity leaves. In case of pregnancy, they are either refused payable leaf or rendered jobless. This is a very unfair practice which should not be condoned.
Indeed, this is a very serious problem which requires an immediate solution. Thus, I am writing this paper to sensitize my readers to understand that gender discrimination is a bad thing which should not be practiced at all. As an activist, I would like to use this article to appeal to the employers to give all their employees equal treatment regardless of their gender. This will motivate the female folk and make them be a proud part of the society.
