She had to cook for the family, buy groceries and look absolutely perfect for the husband, when he arrived in the evening. They were discouraged to get a formal education. They weren’t asked any opinion on matter of money, policies, economics, sports etc, because they were women, they only knew how to cook. Numerous examples from the television adds, movies showcases and portrays the dimension of woman. They were looked for ‘sex’, they were supposed to look glamorous, with heels and lipsticks and short clothes. Few of the images below showcases the actual picture.

Even if a woman complains, she is asked to be silent, called dumb, having a person with no humour etc, which was long ignored by woman and men. Sexual harassment is a problem long manifested, which creates a problem not only in the working condition of an office but also on the mind of a woman.
