Oppression Of Women Today

In my own opinion, based on the experience I have, the issues that oppress women today are employment, economy, labour, education and domestic abuse. For example in Nigeria, most women are involved in petty trading, farming, selling fruits and street hawking in urban areas. Those women who have a reputable job were not paying enough salary. They paying them half of the salary that the men get. The salary will not be enough for the woman to get the food for their family. Based on that, women self-advancement has been helpful to lower the burden of production. They think that, it will helpful to reduce the increase in birthrate, as well as the cultural role of childbearing will lessen the suffering and the burden of the women. Most countries

They do not have access to sell a land, but can only use the land in act of kindness of their husbands and brothers. Marriage women does not have the land, only her male children will inherit the father’s land. Women tend to be more suffering than men, when compare with men. They do not have access to credit facilities they only engaged in production and marketing of lucrative cash crops, such as cocoa, which tends to be maintain by the men. However, lack of education has been a strong barrier to the women to participate in formal sector, like getting a job. There are some social pressures on women especially the teenagers in early marriages which effects women to purse education. The impact of teenage and early marriage contributes double disadvantages in female education especially, in rural area. Educational opportunities tend to be more favorable in boys than girls due to cultural differences in gender roles. They think that education is more beneficial in boys. Some parents put more effort in training the boys and neglecting the girl’s education. I will not blame them because they do not know better either. On the other hand, some families thinks that investing in girl’s education is like investing the benefits of the family she will marry
