5. What are the issues women face in the workplace?
Flexible work arrangement- As women are often caretakers outside of work, they need more flexible working styles to fit their schedules.
Equal pay- Women are not paid as much as men even if they are working full time all year round. Women who work full time get paid around 83.7% of what men are paid. This is worse for Black and Hispanic women. (US statistics)
Sexual harassment- There can be physical, verbal, and nonverbal harrassment.
