In working environments, for example, women and men are tasked to do the same duties, but women have to find the balance between work and family as the women end up taking all the basic responsibilities of the home including taking care of children. The contemporary society depicts a woman as a stay at home person and only wait to be provided by the man. As a result of women committing more hours than men in home activities, the women are underprivileged in their workplaces since the pressure at work demands that they should be available all the time. Significantly, they settle for mediocre jobs under the male (Yadav 2006).
Women are assumed to be the weaker gender in most areas including the urban areas. The security of women is therefore threatened by people who feel superior to them; especially men tend to take advantage of them. As a result, gender-based violence like rape and use of force against women have become rampant in urban societies today (Bandarin & Unesco 2014).
