Abstract
This paper explains that the very issue of women's, wherein the traditional roles that were being played by women are now being discarded in favor of more equality and independence, has caused confusion and irritation in the minds of the Christians of today; Christianity in the pagan times were never treated as being more than mere chattel. The author points out that, in Islam, the subservient determination position of women is defined not by the numerous Islamic ideologies that but by the Pre-Islamic patriarchic ideologies; whereas, in India, the ancient Hindu Scriptures and the Vedas are the base for the systematic discrimination against women, which often culminates in the forced abortion of female fetuses. This paper relates that, in ancient African traditional religions, the woman is treated equally with mend; woman play an active role in all aspects of life, which is not seen in any other religion anywhere in the world.

From the Paper
"The truth is that both Buddhism and Jainism were protest movements against the various unfair practices of Hinduism, especially in relation to women. However, the advent of these two religions had little or no impact on the status of women in India, and the reason for this may be that more emphasis was laid on the factor of asceticism, wherein women were expected to be severely ascetic in all their beliefs and practices. This was similar to the beliefs of the early Christian ascetics, and the teachings found in the old Essenes, and the Franciscans. Therefore, though Buddhism and Jainism opposed most of the horrible practices found in Hinduism, like for example, Sati, where a wife was actually burnt to death at the funeral pyre of her dead husband, women were still considered to be a real burden, and also a hindrance to real progress. The path to liberation was curtailed and prevented, by women, according to the belief of the Buddhist and Jain leaders. Thus, they too did not treat women as more then a burden and a hindrance, and though unfair practices were frowned upon, there were no fair practices either, within the religions, as far as women were concerned."

From the Paper
"Sports are another field where racial differences and gender biases are common. Women equality to play, to prove their abilities and to compete with men on the field is still a primary goal on the women rights association's agenda, those organizations working to ameliorate the contemporary conditions of the womenfolk. However gone are the days when women were willing to conform to the roles of a domestic wife, an obedient daughter and a dutiful sister. Women of today are not only well educated but they are also aware of their rights as human beings. With the signing of the Title IX, women became adamant in accomplishing equality of sex in the field of sports, apart from other disciplines."

Abstract
This paper argues that, in spite of several laws that the Canadian government has enacted to prevent the discrimination of women in the workplace, women in Canada still have not yet achieved equality in the labor market.

From the Paper
"Have Women Achieved Equality in the Canadian Labour Market? Canada has put in place several legislative devices in an attempt to ensure that women do not suffer discrimination. In addition, there has been a growing recognition that discriminating against women in the labour market is unfair and should not be tolerated. However, as this paper will show, although considerable gains have been made, women have not yet achieved equality in the Canadian labour market. It will be shown that this reflects a lingering and pervasive inequality of the sexes within Canadian society. Despite the fact that legislative protections are in place, there stills needs to be a great deal of societal change before women will achieve true substantive equality in..."

Wal-Mart is not the only business discrimination against women. Five different areas of discrimination are race, sex, religion, age, and disability. Another large company that discriminates against women is Boeing."

Abstract
The paper discusses how in the last fifty years or so, our society has made unprecedented strives towards improving the status of women. The paper describes how women have been relentless in fighting discrimination against the female gender, carving a place for themselves within the business, educational and political arenas of the society, and as a result, today, women have much more power then ever before. The paper notes that this is reflected in the area of work; more than half of the labour force is made up of women (Brym, 1995). However, the paper points out that the participation of women in the workforce has also become an economic necessity, because there are less secure full-time jobs and many families today need the dual income, and, although many things have changed for women in the last century, the full equality between the genders has not been achieved.
