3.0 Body

3.1 Overview of working women

3.1.1 According to www.islamweb.net, Allah, Almighty, has not prohibited women
from working, but He has provided numerous protections for women, that are
primarily concerned with where, how, and with whom she associates. There
are many situations that may make it necessary for a woman to work, such as
to meet the financial needs of the family or to fulfil the needs of the society.
There are many possible situations that a woman may face as she struggles to
maintain not only her job, but, more importantly, her Muslim identity.

3.1.2 According to Lee Ann Sandweiss (2009) says that it’s not usual for women, especially single mothers, to be working two or three part-time jobs just to make ends meet. If you are too poor, too overworked and too stressed out, you simply have no time to be a citizen.

3.1.3 Based on Larissa O’ Padden (2008) says that childcare and household responsibilities also can be issues for working mothers. While men are starting to pick up the slack in terms of household work, those responsibilities that still fall on a woman can cause added time constraints.

3.2 Achievements by working women
3.2.1 According to Datuk Maznah Hamid (2008), she has built a Multi-Million Dollar International conglomerate as well as Massive Publicity to make her a Malaysian Success Icon. She has 8 powerful shortcuts for doing business in Malaysia and Vast Experience and High Powered Contacts .She continues to contribute to the Malaysian entrepreneur through TV, radio and the Government Initiatives and funding she is entrusted with. Her Results and Success Strategies as women in a male dominated business have won her the Praise of the Malaysian government and the International community. Her INER-STRENTH has allowed her to achieve ultimate success.

3.2.2 Parveen Gill (2007) says that Datuk Michelle Yeoh receives top French award, she get the award because she perform her own stunts in action films. Yeoh, well-known for performing her own stunts in action films, was presented the award – established by legendary French leader Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802 – for her involvement in various charity organisations throughout the world.

3.3 The challenges for working women in this era globalization

3.3.1 According to Lee Ann Sandweiss (2009) she stated that Ruth Needleman says that exacerbated for women, because in order to accommodate demands of raising children, many of them must take part-time and temp work, which almost never include health insurance and other benefits.Women employed in female-dominated jobs such as nursing, child care and clerical work receive lower wages than workers in similar jobs not dominated by women. Many men in such jobs also suffer from wage discrimination.

3.3.2 Refers to http:/skorcareer.com.my, according to Datuk Maznah Hamid, she started her business without any security experiences. First, she took the plunge without any real business experience. And things looked worse as she was taking over an almost bankrupt security business. Not only it was on the brink of bankruptcy, the fact that she chose to be in a man-dominated business did not help much. She needed to learn about the basic of the security operation, the law and weaponry and at the same time employing people to guard the clients’ premises, starting with five security guards.

3.3.3 Refers to www.islamweb.net, All women who have been exposed to the workplace at some point in their lives can fully grasp the myriad of reasons why working outside the home is an enormous problem, in particular for Muslim women. There are countless contrasts in the workplace to our Islamic value system. Sexual harassment in the workplace is the one of the challenges for working women.Many Muslim women cope with the challenge of working in a non-Muslim environment: a male employee offers his hand during introductions, other employees begin to discuss private aspects of their lives at lunch, an invitation is sent to all employees for a get-together at the local bar; someone makes a joke about Hijaab or Salaah.

3.4 The effects for working women

3.4.1 According to www.stopvaw.org, it says that sexual harassment pollutes the working environment and can have a devastating effect upon the health, confidence, morale and performance of those affected by it The anxiety and stress produced by sexual harassment commonly leads to those subjected to it taking time off work due to sickness, being less efficient at work, or leaving their job to seek work elsewhere.Employees often suffer the adverse consequences of the harassment itself and short- and long-term damage to their employment prospects if they are forced to change jobs. Sexual harassment may also have a damaging impact on employees not themselves the object of unwanted behaviour but who is witness to it or have knowledge of the unwanted behaviour.

3.4.2 According to www.workingwomen.com, women lack quantitative skills, so they are passed over for many jobs criticial to the success of any business because business deals in numbers; women won't relocate so they don't get put on the fast track that requires relocation; women are too emotional, so they don't get feedback since they might become upset; women have a difficult time making decisions, so they aren't given anything to decide.

3.5 Overcome the challenges

3.5.1 According to www.islamweb.net, a woman must ensure that her home and children are properly cared for. Her husband may be of assistance in this area, or outside help may be employed.Women must obtain consent from her guardian or husband (if married), who may offer a broader perspective on how her work may influence the family and it’s functioning. While at the job, a woman must maintain her inwardly and outwardly modesty and chastity.

3.5.2 According to Lahle Wolfe (2008), Finding the Right Work-Life Balance For Busy Working Women. Many women struggle with finding better ways to balance work and life and often this guilt comes from outside sources like pressure from husbands, family, and friends. Some (wealthier) women opt to travel by private jet to have more time with their families, while others, like billionaire and super entrepreneur Marilyn Carlson Nelson believe that women should not feel guilty about having a passion for work.

3.5.2.1 Overcoming Gender Discrimination against Women in Business Gender lines are drawn early, and exclusions for women continue throughout adulthood. Not only are women discriminated against in private businesses, but also by the Federal government. Gender bias begins in elementary school continuing on into college. Even though more women hold higher degrees than men, they are still passed over for jobs that go to less-educated and less-qualified males, and they also receive less compensation than men for the same job.

3.5.2.2 Finding Inspiration and Support from Other Business Women on Fire. In addition to having a mentor, many women find reading the success stories, tips, and advice from other women who are already successful in business helpful and inspiring. Women in business feature profiles of famous business women, as well as small businesses owned by successful women entrepreneurs, and working moms to encourage you on your own path to success.



4.0 Conclusion

Working women may face the challenges when they work in any sectors, so they should know their strength and weaknesses. It is because working women can solve the challenges very smartly. Almost the challenges for working women are the responsibilities in the family because we know that women have to manage the family especially for their children for working women that had married. Before this, women are assumed by people that they are weak person but when a lot of achievements by working women in this new era so its show that women is same like a men. Furthermore, the gaps between men and women in this time are not far as before. Nothing is impossible for women to success in their career, family and life.
