Abstract
Women in Zambia, like the rest of the world face a number of gender based challenges even in the sphere of employment. The law, being an important instrument to society if used well can help to protect them from such challenges. In line with the aspirations of the Patriotic Front (PF) Government on Gender and Child issues as outlined in the PF manifesto, a fully-fledged Ministry of Gender and Child Development was established in 2011. This would assist in bringing focus on disparities in women�s roles and limited opportunities in relation to those of men. However, despite attempts at addressing gender inequality and achievements in this regard, gender discrimination is pervasive and is known to occur in almost every professional setting.
