Women in developing countries are more likely to experience challenges than other individuals in the course of their everyday life. There is a continued inequality and defenselessness of women in all sectors where women remain unrepresented and oppressed. The continued inequality and defenselessness of women in all sectors remain a serious threat to the future democracy. As per my knowledge, although women in public sector remain high, the issues of gender in the public administration have been neglected or marginalized and they experience socio-cultural hurdles in addition to institutional discrimination to climb in the ladder of public sector.
As a public administrative women, I agree that the organizational challenges include barriers in exercising power, long hours’ work, lack of support and respect from male colleagues and staff members and political influences. Moreover, some may experience negative perceptions of society and lack of family support to advance their career.
