Abstract

The challenges encountered by working women in Kanniyakumari district are multifaceted and rooted in the intersection of gender, socio-economic factors, and cultural norms. This study aims to explore and analyze the unique set of issues faced by working women in this region, shedding light on the complexities that impact their professional and personal lives. Key areas of concern include workplace discrimination, limited access to opportunities for career advancement, and the persistence of traditional gender roles. The study also examines the role of cultural expectations and societal norms that often place additional burdens on working women, making it challenging for them to balance their professional and domestic responsibilities. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, this study seeks to identify specific barriers that hinder the progress of working women in Kanniyakumari district. By understanding these challenges, policymakers, employers, and community leaders can develop targeted strategies to address and mitigate these issues, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for working women. The findings of this research can contribute to the development of effective policies and initiatives aimed at promoting gender equality in the workplace and creating an environment where working women can thrive both personally and professionally. Additionally, the study may serve as a foundation for future research on the broader issue of gender equity in different geographical and cultural contexts.
