It was
surprising to learn about that Women in our country are still faced with these issues. I want to share this article to you. According to the report women faces issues such as;
1.
Poverty, Hunger, and Homelessness.
According
to Shriver report, the U.S has the largest number of homeless women and
children among developed nations. It is reported that seventy million women and
their children are living in poverty in America.
2.
Gender Wage Gap.
In this modern era, women still earn less than men. Is it because women are found mostly in the
lowest-paying field or is it as a result of gender inequality that still exists
in our society?.
3.
Violence Against Women.
Over
200,000 rape or assault cases against women and girls across the U.S were reported annually. Shriver reports states that "one in five college women
has been sexually assaulted while in college". According
to Shriver report “Domestic violence is another aspect of this issue. One in
three female homicide victims is killed by an intimate partner. Twenty-four percent
of adult women have been physically assaulted by a partner at some time in
their lives”.
