Abstract

Women have been on the receiving end of imbalance in the workplace. These discriminatory factors have limited their full potentials or prevented them from effectively combining being mothers and career women. The existing laws and societal mindset have not in their entirety provided the framework needed for women to excel on the same pedestal as men. In a similar vein, companies or organizational policies have failed to accommodate regulations that would aid the performance of the woman at work. This paper examines the rights of women, the challenges faced by them at work; and the negative impact of such challenges which inadvertently prevent them from enjoying their constitutionally-guaranteed rights. The research was carried out with reliance on both primary and secondary data from legislations, judicial precedents, published articles and research journals. It anchors its conclusion and recommendation on the need for new laws and organizational policies that protect the working Nigerian woman
