- *Pay gap:* Women earn 78 cents for every dollar earned by men, on average. This gap exists even when comparing men and women with the same education and experience.
- *Career advancement:* Women are less likely to be promoted to leadership positions than men, even if they are equally qualified.
- *Sexual harassment:** Women are often subject to sexual harassment and abuse in the workplace, which can create a hostile work environment.
