Sex Descrimination has no end.....

Is sex descrimination temporary or permanent ??the reply to this question is unfortunately in YES...its permanent... Women have done fairly well in almost all field.and are doing well in most of the areas .despite this they have to suffer with sex descrimination and sexual harrasment in work field..many a time.. Fairer sex is not liked by many male partner and co worker in offices for the reason best known to them..further sincere and capable ladies are unwanted in many offices specially by male partner. this make them somehow insecure in their office. The young generation is nowadays not much afraid of fairer sex as they have accepted their capacity. but still many men with their rigid mind dont like women growing in several sectors.. These women do get sexual harassment also in their work field..If they allow sexual abuse of their seniors or coworkers somehow they achieve some thing in return in their office and minimum harrasment. This situation is serious and shameful in this modern age.Laws are impotent to make women free from this type of harassment.Best thing women prefer to do is to neglect this type of situation. In many cases they make shortcut and acheive success..Most of the time women avoid to fight against sexual discrimination and harrassment..As ultimately this harm to an individual only and non practical in this time. //
