Negotiation myths that are hampering ’s potential to seize and overcome barriers in their . But with more and more women entering the workforce, it is time to dispel these myths about negotiation so leaders can make their employee negotiations more equitable.

1) Men Negotiate and Women Don’t

In studies examining what managers and professionals negotiate in their career, both men and women overwhelmingly recounted negotiating their roles — and with about equal frequency.

2) Women Should Always Negotiate Pay

The second misconception is that women need to negotiate their pay in order to close the gender . This is an unfair burden to place on women, particularly because the gender wage gap is more about the types of jobs that men and women are in than about differentials in pay for the same work.

3) Backlash Is Inevitable

Many professional women approach career negotiations with trepidation, fearing social backlash such as being alienated from co-workers or even being disinvited from work teams. Organizations can ward against this through education and norm setting.

: Despite joining or agreeing to various international commitments and undertaking their own initiatives to progress on the path of gender equality, many countries across the globe—till date—continue to exclude women from decision making tables/positions. However, if women are constantly pushed away from reaching these political positions will they ever be truly empowered? After all, politics is not a masculine field..we have only made it so.

The Supreme Court of India’s recent decision to extend the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act to all women—irrespective of their marital status—including those belonging to cis-gender women who require s*xual and reproductive healthcare is a big victory for the harrowing fight for reproductive and bodily autonomy India women.

Another factor adding to women’s increased vulnerability to gender-based violence is the widespread due to the conflict where the willingness to stay alive in a foreign country often force women to adopt negative coping mechanisms such as child marriage and survival s*x that could eventually lead to their exploitation and abuse.

This is the blatant truth of war— power and domination expressed by the enemy through constant subordination and torture of women.

What we are seeing in this unfortunate image is a Ukrainian women’s body tortured and left with -shaped burn. Amidst the ongoing , the Russian soldiers have in fact, r**ed and tortured minor girls as young as 10 year old and left them with these burns perhaps, for Ukrainians to remember that it is Russians, who are in charge.

The hunger to display power can actually kill humanity in people.

There is thus, an urgent need to support the Ukrainian women. Protect them. Help them.
