On one hand, we have a promising career for women. They are becoming pilots, doctors, army officers, CEOs, COOs, business consultants, et al. On the other hand, there is an issue of safety and harassment in the workplace. Harassment and undue advantage by bosses or senior personnel.
When she travels for work, stalkers and molesters are there on the roads and inside public transport. Darkness is not her friend.
On a personal front, they have to take care of children and elders at home.
Taking care of kids and elders is a big task. It requires a lot of patience. Sometimes she has to make sacrifices for her job to become a responsible mother, daughter, or daughter-in-law.
With so many demands at the workplace and at home, it's challenging for women to balance both.
She can manage all these tasks with the help of her husband or family.
Yes, there is social stigma too; a woman has to marry, produce kids, and raise them.
She cannot live on her own terms. If she chooses her own lifestyle, society will not accept her, or she becomes the odd one out.
Others always try to disturb her or make comments about her. She cannot live singly. It's hard for her to live alone, unlike a man.
When she thinks of entrepreneurship, many people do not take her seriously.
She does not receive payments from vendors; people try to cheat her. Few people understand her aspirations.
She has to create a space for herself. Her path is challenging.

Dear Ms. Gauri Tomar,
I do not know why you have written this post or what the logic behind it was. The entire post lacks any numbers. Therefore, I do not think your arguments are based on a study or survey of society. The post seems more suitable for a magazine that advocates feminism. The way you have written your post implies that we live in dark ages where women are considered inferior entities. Is your post intended for a specific country? Is it for India? Yes, India faces these problems. However, with a population of 1.25 billion, there is a wide spectrum of society where each shade is so significant that diversity exists within each shade itself.
As a woman, there are hardships; however, harassment occurs from either side. Do you know how many men commit suicide due to false implications under Section 498-K? This section is one of the most dreaded sections of the Criminal Procedure Code of India. Matrimonial laws heavily favor women. Visit a family court and discover how women have taken undue advantage of this bias.
Your article could have been more balanced if you had also discussed the opposite side.
Last but not least, instead of criticizing the current state of affairs, you could have shared what you have done to change the situation, even by a small amount. Your article would have gained credibility even without mentioning the opposite perspective.
Thanks,

Mr. Divekar,
Yes, this post is meant for India. You have not used polite language "Go to Family Court."
If you have knowledge, you can share it; you can add it. I am a YWCA Delhi Member for the last 8 years. I have faced such kinds of situations. I have experienced harassment and eve-teasing in my locality. I fought it for 5 months in the year 2016. I can show you attachments and scanned copies of my case if you wish to see.
I live in Rohini, Delhi. As a YWCA Delhi Member, I have made contributions to society. I do not deny that men do not face issues and harassment in society and at the workplace. They do face it. Women and their parents take undue advantage. I know of a few cases. It's not mandatory to add figures and numbers. I have the right to present my views.

Women face significant challenges in the workforce. It is unfair that there are numerous additional obstacles to overcome in order to be successful. However, if you are dedicated and sincere about making a positive impact in this world, then you will achieve success in your career goals.
