It is no secret that women are way more likely to face discrimination at work because of their gender. From getting paid less for doing the same job to being passed over for the most important assignments, there are numerous ways in which women are being discriminated against in work because of their gender.

Roughly four in every ten working women say that they have experienced some form of gender discrimination at work, according to a survey conducted by Pew Research Center. According to the survey, 25% said that they earned less than someone doing the same job, and 23% were treated as if they were incompetent.
