The aim of the dissertation3 was to analyse the topic of discrimination against women in the workplace drawing on empirical and theoretical research. The dissertation contained a comparison of women’s various experiences based on their stories. It also included a survey which was conducted among women. It sought to explore the scope and types of gender-based discrimination in the workplace. The main hypothesis was that discriminatory practices against women in the workplace result from the assumption that females, due to their biological and cultural features, are not capable of performing the same job as effectively as males. The research aimed to explore whether this assumption proves to be true.
