Women are one of the victims of social and economic oppression and exploitation in the world, but discrimination against women has always been in the form of a problem. Some ancient religions have described woman as a soulless creature and the root of all evil. In today's age, woman is considered as a mere sex toy. A report by Amnesty International states that women are not valued in any country in the world. Women from all social classes, societies and races are at risk of having their human rights violated. In the said report, it has been revealed that women are being killed, their honor and respect are being robbed all over the world. They are being tortured. This has been said in the report regarding Bosnia, Rwanda and Mexico.
According to a United Nations report, women in China work an average of 12 hours while men have an average of 10 hours of work, but the tragedy is that they are paid less than men despite taking more work.
Financial exploitation of women is not only in China, but it is the same situation in the whole world.

It is she who prepares and feeds the food and often women eat last and least. She first feeds her husband and children and finally eats the leftovers herself. Women are neglected in every way in a male-dominated society. According to a United Nations report, seven hundred and thirty-six million women over the age of 15, i.e. one in three women, are victims of sexual and physical violence by themselves or others. 16% of women aged 15 to 24 have experienced violence. Every day 147 women are killed by their close relatives. 37% of women in developed countries and 22% in developing countries are killed or tortured by their close relatives.

Afghanistan, Congo and Syria are in the second and third places, while Somalia is in the fourth place and Saudi Arabia is in the fifth place.
A survey conducted in 35 countries in 1999 shows that 52 percent of women have been victims of violence by their partners at some point in their lives (Thomson Reuters Foundation Crime Against Women, 2018).

Similarly, seventy percent of married women in India are victims of domestic violence between the ages of fifteen and fifty. According to another report, fourteen women are killed by their husbands every day in India.
According to data provided by the National Crime Records Bureau, every three minutes a woman is a victim of a criminal act and every six hours a married woman is beaten to death, burned alive or forced to commit suicide. Is.
The summary discussion is that in the present era, women are victims of all kinds of oppression and exploitation in the male-dominated society and are living a life of semi-slavery.
