❖ New Forms of Exploitation of Women in Modern Society ❖
In general, oppression and exploitation of women are often linked with traditional societies, but the reality is that modern liberal and capitalist systems have introduced several new and severe forms of exploitation.
Unfortunately, these issues do not receive due attention.
◄ The trend of involving women in economic activities has reached such an extent that they are now burdened with complete financial responsibility.
As a result, men have withdrawn from their obligation to provide, which harms not only the women but also their children.
Daycare centers in Western societies reflect this consequence.
◄ Moreover, women are forced out of the safe environment of the home and pushed into competition with men, where they frequently face sexual harassment.
Despite all this, their salaries often remain lower than those of men.
◄ At an age when attraction toward the opposite gender intensifies, girls are sent to co-educational institutions where proper boundaries are not maintained.
◄ Advocates of women's rights consider early marriage to be oppressive, but they fail to recognize the harm in exposing young girls to mobile phones, internet, and media influence in unprotected environments.
As a result, these girls suffer from emotional, psychological, and sometimes even physical exploitation.
◄ There is a growing trend of using female beauty for commercial gain, notably through modeling.
This attitude is also evident in some electronic media talk shows.
◄ The worst form of this exploitation can be seen in Western societies through the pornographic film industry, which is legally protected.
In this vile industry, vulnerable and helpless women are targeted, lured with various incentives to enter this degrading field.
◄ Certain feminist ideologies have fueled hatred between men and women, convincing women that men are their rivals and oppressors, rather than their spouses.
◄ These ideologies have led some women to view marriage and family life as a form of slavery.
Some extreme views even label marriage as “legalized prostitution”, where a woman is seen as socially pressured into granting a man legal access to her for exploitation.
◄ In the name of economic stability, some couples face such long periods of separation that the concept of living together fades altogether.
◄ This is especially evident among those working abroad, resulting in disrupted domestic life and weakened child upbringing.
This leads to moral challenges and the erosion of the family structure.
◄ The unrealistic idea of equality between men and women has led to imbalance in the family system.
Male leadership has been so severely challenged that many men now feel disempowered.
◄ Consequently, some men withdraw from their responsibilities, while others gradually lose interest in marriage and family life altogether.
These are not hypothetical concerns—their effects are clearly visible in Western societies.
This situation should be a wake-up call for all.
