Unfair Treatment of Women

Introduction

Women play a very pivotal role in society. Although various things have changed for women in the last few decades, but still women in the world are being treated in a discriminatory manner. Unfair treatment of women means the presence of violent aspects in a women, such as partner abuse, intimate partner violence and domestic abuse - takes many forms. Ill-treatment taking place in the context of any relationship is emotional violence. Others can include things like beating up fellow mates, being aggressive against them or harassing them.

Female gender roles often require women to be accountable for an intolerable amount of domestic work, rearing of children, attending to family social relations and employment outside the home. The role of gender influences the women in her everyday experiences and might limit or make it impossible to consider accessing help for mental health needs. The multiple changing roles of immigrant women situate them in a vulnerable, high-risk position.

It is observed that women have negative impacts in psychological functioning across a host of measures (Winick, 1997). Those who are victims of intimate terrorism may exhibit especially high levels of fear, to the point that it drastically modifies their behavior. Domestic violence victims, compared to the general population, have lower overall mental health, and higher levels of depression, suicidal ideation, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), along with all of its underlying symptoms, including anxiety, difficulty sleeping, inability to concentrate, hyper vigilance, angry outbursts, detachment, and a limited range of affect.
