Women are generally found to be paid less than men | Monisha Mudaliar | Founder & CEO | MonZ Media

Women are generally found to be paid less than men- While pay gaps exist in some industries, they are not a universal truth anymore. Compensation today is largely driven by skill, impact, and negotiation. Many leading organizations have standardized pay structures, ensuring equal pay for equal work. However, the gap often stems from fewer women negotiating salaries or being considered for high-stakes roles. The real challenge isn’t just pay—it’s ensuring women have equal access to leadership opportunities and the confidence to claim what they deserve.

Why must women continue to work- Every adult should work to be financially independent; women included. We’ve seen generations where men were the primary breadwinners but that stereotype is fading. Today, women are not just earning for themselves but also providing for their families while balancing households with remarkable grace. The head of the family isn’t always the father anymore – many women are stepping up, leading both at work and at home effortlessly. Financial independence isn’t optional; it empowers women, strengthens economies, diversifies workplaces and creates role models for future generations. More than just a paycheck, a career brings personal growth, influence and the ability to shape industries and policies.
