ABSTRACT

The equality problem between women and men is a knotty problem long-standing. We cannot deny that men generally are more robust than women, so in ancient times, women were not allowed to go out, which means women were under the protection of men and had fewer rights. This stereotype still takes root in many people’s minds, resulting in women living in the shadow of men. Women should share the same rights as men. Namely, women should be paid the same if they do the same work as men; women have the right to abortion. Based on these two controversial issues, this paper focuses on protecting women’s rights and talks about the development of institutions engaging in protecting women’s rights and laws related to women’s rights. Finally, the paper also looks at some strict measures against sexual harassment, considering how to protect women’s rights. However, there is still a long way to go for actual equality between women and men.
