1) Working women with children have difficulties finding adequate child care in their
area. Time off and absenteeism are big issues for working mothers.
2) Gaining co-worker acceptance of women in non-traditional roles is a serious
problem. Many of our executives are uncertain how to manage women.
3) We have more women managers, but few women officers, and none on the board of
directors. The glass ceiling is a reality.
4) Women executives still face the problem of less delegation of authority that is why
they play passive role in decision making process which effect in demoralisation of
women .

6) To strike proper balance between personal and professional life they have to
work harder which sometimes result into giving up their bright careers for family
cause.
7) Even though women are highly qualified and competent but they still have to
depend on the family decision to take up any career before marriage as well as
after marriage.
8) India being on the path of development still struggles with the social issuesrelating to women such as female infanticide, illiteracy, dowry, child marriages,
inequality of gender, child labour, In equal property rights, prostitution, trafficking
and other serious problems.
5) Women at work place face worst problem of sexual harassment after being
sincere and talented they pay price to remain in job.

SUGGESTIONS
Corporate socialresponsibility is morethan a topic to discussabout it is changing fateand face of society but itshould be adopted by all
the business housesvoluntarily.
Country like India shouldspecially advocate for
corporate socialresponsibility as it can be
possible remedies for manyissues like illiteracy, poverty,child labour, unemployment
and rural development.
Women related issuesneed importantattention from
government, societyand specially fromcorporate sector.

India is developing in all possible areas butthere are certain areas where development isalmost stagnant gender discrimination is one
of them
Corporates can definitely empower womenright from encouraging them to get
education till getting respectable livelihoodto become productive citizens.
Corporate can provide finance to overcomesome unsolved issues if properly utilised
Women related issues at work like sexualharassment though comes under legal
framework but it can be stopped bycorporate if internal control within
organisation gives due importance towomen related rules

Women since ages have silently witnessed the significant
changes in society whether its country’s freedom, agricultural
development, modernisation, liberalisation, privatisation& globalisation
but one thing which has not changed satisfactorily is gender inequality
in Indian society. This discrimination though age old still rules the
society right from discrimination to not to give birth to girl child till not
to give them opportunity in employment after marriage, women for
their living & livelihood still majorly depends on family’s decision

Which is almost absent in case of male members of the same society. From
Vedic period till the now society looks for sacrifices from women not men.
They have to strike balance between social, personal & professional lives.
Corporate social responsibility towards women empowerment can become
ray of hope in many ways right from changing attitude towards women in the
society to making women independent financially, physically and socially and
enabling them to stand on their feet. The motive behind joining CSR with
women empowerment is to provide solutions to women related issues. Every

project needs finance from society which can be amply supplied by big
business houses but society should also become instrumental in developing
women’s status. Providing competitive jobs equal to men is not only providing
bread and butter to women but also uplifting them, society can only develop
when growth is equally enjoyed by every section of society though
we have shining examples of women achievers in India like
president Mrs pratibha patil, India’s nightingale Lata Mangeshkar

, women astronauts late Kalpana Chawla and so on but these are in
few thousand there is a need to have such achievements in lakhs and
lakhs. when a girl in small village can also read these success stories and
get inspiration and when right to get birth will be given to girl child then
only our country will stand to be differert atleast in case of equal respect to
women.
