It is an undeniable fact that in workplace, women are, more or less, suffering from inequality in many underdeveloped countries. There are, in my opinion, some solutions for the big gender discrimination existing in third world countries. Inequality in workplace could certainly be a consequence of historical, cultural background as well as bad economic or legal policies implemented.
One possible approach would be to organize a cultural movement by academicians and intellectuals, i.e. to encourage social and economic experts to gather precise information about gender inequality in workplace, give critical explanations and reveal the roots of the problem. This will help to open the eyes of society and move towards resolving the inequality in workplace, although it needs freedom of speech and criticism for sure.
A more basic solution would be law amendment which seems not to be easy to accomplish, because there are barriers against it in third world countries, e.g. in Iran working law was written and ratified based on religious viewpoints coming from Quran in which a big gap is recognizable between males and females in their social and human rights.
The next step would consequently be a powerful enforcement of the law changed with regard to the fact that governments need unbiased social, political strategies to put laws into action. This may be done through a long-term policy and a well-administered system in order to reach the logical, desirable result.
To sum up, cultural efforts, law amendment and enforcement can help women know their rights better and employers realize their obligations more deeply. It takes perhaps a long time to reach such an aim in underdeveloped countries, but it is, for sure, possible as it has taken place in developing and developed countries like Sweden or the US.
