Abstract
India is known for its geographical spread and the magnitude of its population. India has a population of 1.3 billion of which women constitute nearly half the percentage. Women play a vital role in the rural and urban economies of the country, yet the economic status of women is considered comparatively lower than that of men. Women face discrimination and violations of their rights everywhere, particularly in the country's work sector. The contribution of women can be seen in the formal as well as in the unorganized sector of the country. Indeed, the unorganized sector is a very important part of the Indian economy, and women's involvement in it is greater than men's. Currently, the unorganized sector employs around 94% of the country's female workforce. Even after making a significant contribution to this sector, women do not have the facilities and comfort they need to live a satisfactory life. They live their lives below satisfactory standards. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to highlight the challenges and discrimination faced by the women of our country in the job sector and to raise awareness among women of their legal rights and remedies provided to them by the law of the country. Furthermore, it is to protect their human rights and empower them to achieve a decent work environment and a better life.
