The working women aura is gradually declining with their inability to shatter the gender glass at workplaces. A study by the Equality and Human Rights Commission revealed that women's representation in the industries has come down.
The sacrifices that a women have to make are immense and despite the years of efforts to push up their strata in every sector the gender equality battle is still fought. "The low representation of women is down to straight forward discrimination in some cases, but there are some fundamental ways in which our workplace culture still holds women back," Nicola Brewer, chief executive of the commission, was quoted as saying by The Independent newspaper.
The 'super mum' concept is being wiped out with the women opting for work at the cost of family, and hence raising doubts on the most admired power to balance both work and home. According to the report in the British daily, appointments for women in public sector fell from 35.5 percent last year to 34.4 percent. The proportion of professional bodies led by a woman fell from a third in the last report to a quarter. Amongst 25 categories surveyed, only 12 categories showcase women's foothold at the pedestal. Now, even when it comes to politics, wherein the people should stand for the equality sign, there is a vast gap in the representation. Most countries in the world have failed to give due space and representation to women in their political life. Women are moving in the direction of near equal participation in only a handful of countries, such as Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland.
