Summary/Abstract: The paper observes that the collaborative efforts of both genders in society can help bring economic, social, physical and psychological independence that can help build a less patriarchal society that limits the female gender. Nevertheless, the paper concludes that while gender issues in the society has always been a complex and cultural one, the female gender needs to accept their complimentary positions where need be and be competitive in order to create a public sphere that will accommodate them as well. Therefore, this paper recommends that the female gender needs more empowerment through education, funds, and psychological stability rather than sitting and attending to the private sphere alone that makes them vulnerable.
