INTRODUCTION
Gender equality means that different behaviours, aspiration and needs of female & male
are considered, favoured and valued equally. With this regard, women and men become same in
term of rights, responsibilities and opportunities. Hence, discrimination must be reduced that
arising in business. In the present study, importance of equality among different men and women
shows with law that must be implement in right manner (Livingston, Sommerlad and Cooper,
2017). According to article 7, We All Are Equal Before the Law determined and entitled to equal
protection against discrimination in violation has bee considered. This article show that law is
equal to elimination of all forms of discrimination against women. As a result, it has been says
that constitution of republic of Albania and array of international instruments ratified.
All people are born in same way as human so that they deserve same rights and
acceptance as long which must be followed with law and it complies to norms that set to protect
all individuals. In the history, certain group of people generally face issue of discrimination,
segregation and injustice (Åhlin, Ericson‐Lidman and Strandberg, 2015). This is because, they
are of specific race, skin, culture that consider to be part of lower category of human beings as

MAIN BODY
Topic
It is really hard to believe that women are not equal playing in field with men yet. It is
less equal for women in term of colour, trans women and other marginalised groups. There are
several ways which adopted by people to identify as women are not treated equally men.
However, it is not considered in term of wage gap but also demonstrate several ways which
identify as women those are not treated equally to people who identify as men (Pacolet, Bouten
and Versieck, 2018). In social group of America, only 20% of women hold seats in parliament so
that massive disparity and as per Washington Post there are three men in who hold political
office in US. There are different issues take place due to inequality between men and women
such as lack of education due to inequality in generation gap. Large disparity can be found in
several other African countries.

Furthermore, career opportunities also reduce for women so that law must be place which
stipulate state owned or publicly traded in companies must be comprised of 40% women. In
many nations poor payment of wage create major impact on results and outcomes. Unequal pay
describe that same job of men and women considered but there is no proper payment of wage
determined. It increases discrimination among several people which arises problems and issues
in which different section shown where women get highly affected (Prince, Wu and Yusuf,
2015). It increases criminal aspects in the society which reduce appropriate work system of
people in a group.
Law
With respect to solve issue of discrimination among male and female, it can be stated that
different laws must be applied. In order to deal with women and unequal pay, it can be stated that
appropriate law need to considered in proper manner. They are as follows: Equal pay act 1970: Equal pay act helps to prevent discrimination in different terms and
conditions of employment between men and women. This act of parliament of UK
prohibited less favourable treatment between female and male in terms of pay and
conditions of employment (Etkind, Bone and Murtagh, 2017). Equality act 2010: The Equality act 2010 legally protect people from discrimination at
workplace and wider society as well. It replaced with previous anti-discrimination laws in
single act. This act demonstrates easier work to understand and strengthening protection
in particular situations. It also assists to provide protection for certain illnesses which
established as disability. In this act, it can be describe that person is disabled if they have
physical or mental impairment which create long term adverse impact on day to day
activities (Kogan, Wilber and Mosqueda, 2016). Policy guidance and practice guidance: Policy and practice guidance demonstrate global
governance principles in particular range of themes which are generally issues to
elaborate key concepts and practices. Guidance pieces often used to set benchmark to
assess different governance practice and serve as an internal source of the best practice
that influence corporate governance regulatory development (Kalsi, Babic-Illman and
Harari, 2015). Police and criminal evidence act 1984: This act of parliament instituted with legislative
framework for the powers of police which officers in England and Wales. It also
2

instituted legislation which frame for powers of police officers for the exercise of those
powers in positive consideration. Main aim of PACE is to establish balance between
powers which considered with provision that made in country (Sinclair, Dunning and
Rodriguez-Mañas, 2015).
 Serious organised crime act 2005: This act considered in parliament of UK aimed
primarily at creating serious organised crime agency. The offence has since created with
Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006. It is generally introduced to maintain restrictions
on protests in the vicinity of the Palace of Westminster (Kalsi, Babic-Illman and Harari,
2015).
Practice
These laws are generally working to reduce discrimination among several people on the
basis of different aspects. In this regard, it can be stated that unequal treatment between men and
women in UK must be reduced with compounding the situation of society. For example, in
different conditions disability benefits for coronary artery disease solve by either meeting the
requirements set for social security administration. Among men and women, it is essential to
considered law of equality act 2010 which is generally set with equality terms and provision
which gives right between men and women for equal work. It covers individuals in same
employment that includes equality in pay and other contractual terms (Kogan, Wilber and
Mosqueda, 2016).
In response to concern, government of UK implement various legislations that is related
with gender, both institutional and personal at workplace. Sex discrimination act must be
implemented that helps to protect individual those are being discriminated against employment,
vocational training and education. The equal pay act of 1970 must be implemented that is
mandate with equal pay and work regardless of an individual sex and gender. Regulations also
protect rights of individual who intend to undergo. These regulations pertain to reduce
discrimination among different people. Harassment issue and problems also need to be solved
with this act implications (Etkind, Bone and Murtagh, 2017).
Along with this, equal opportunities must be considered with law which aim to create
employed people with increasing training to develop skills and abilities to do job. In different
cases, it is essential to offer occupational qualification which includes jobs in welfare services,
acting which required among men and women. Sexual harassment of women must be reduced
3

that helps to make and feel humiliated so that it degraded to treat in sexual way (Åhlin, Ericson‐
Lidman and Strandberg, 2015).
CONCLUSION
From the present study, it can be concluded that equality play very important role among
different members who are working in same company. In this regard, whole group must have
undertaken equality and discrimination to understand guidelines that are basic which need to be
placed in equality and diversity. Furthermore, it can be summarised that positive actions must be
apply which helps to encourage women to consider candidates on their suitability. Moreover,
discrimination at work must be reduced with age discrimination, bullying in the workplace,
racial discrimination, etc. In this regard, offering women only support services that is victims of
domestic violence who are women is likely to be justifiable.
