Social environment in Australia

The status of women has always been a social issue that has been widely concerned. All countries in the world, strong or weak, rich or poor, women's issues can not be ignored. Without the improvement of women's status and situation, there will be no real social progress. If the struggle for human rights loses the important half of women's status, it is meaningless. The equality of women, to some extent, is of great significance for all mankind to seek a better social living environment.

Australia is a country of immigrants. Multi-race and multi-culture are the social characteristics of Australia. In this special social environment, women's status and gender equality become more and more important. At the same time, the establishment and improvement of women's status and the process of gender equality will also be influenced by multi-race and multi-culture. Obstacles and difficulties cannot be ignored.

Australia has always been a representative of the women's movement. Feminists in Australia can proudly say that since the 1970s, great changes have taken place in social attitudes towards women and national women's policies, and they have made great contributions. 1972, when Whitlam's Labour government was elected, he realized the new feelings of Australian women and began to carry out major reforms in employment and child care. He implements equal pay for equal work for men and women in Australian civil servants, recognizes equal employment opportunities for women and makes provisions for maternity leave.

Although Australia was one of the first countries to give women the right to vote, it was not until 4 1 year after the passage of the United Kingdom Bill of Rights that women were elected to the Federal Parliament. Ironically, after the good start of being number one in the world, the time from obtaining the right to participate in politics to actually entering parliament is the longest in the western world. So what is the reason? The most obvious reason is the actual status of women in Australian society. Like other countries in the world, women in Australia are treated unequally, and work is considered indifferent. You will give up your job after marriage, otherwise it will not be accepted. There are many other bad habits, and people's ideas didn't improve until after the second stop. However, Australia's multi-culture and multi-race have set many obstacles for the process of women's equality.

Based on this feature of Australian society, the author analyzes and summarizes the obstacles to gender equality in Australia under multicultural conditions, and puts forward suggestions and methods to solve problems and remove obstacles.

The article * * * consists of six parts. The introduction summarizes the diverse characteristics of Australia. Then it is analyzed in four chapters. The first chapter analyzes the composition of Australian women, and specifically analyzes the two groups of indigenous women and immigrant women and their status in society. The second chapter briefly reviews gender discrimination and the Australian women's movement. The third chapter introduces the current situation of Australian women. The fourth chapter is the focus of the full text, pointing out the obstacles to gender equality in Australia under multiculturalism. Starting with the dominant position of men in Australian local society, the author analyzes the status relationship between men and women, racial issues, multiculturalism, different immigrant backgrounds of women, and how women should deal with their own culture and the mainstream culture of Australian society, in order to find out the obstacles to gender equality and seek solutions to problems and contradictions. In the final conclusion, the author puts forward some suggestions on social policies and women themselves, and makes a theoretical attempt to eliminate the obstacles to gender equality in Australia.

In the whole human society, the status of women is very important. In a multicultural country like Australia, it can't be ignored. Despite the difficulties and obstacles, with the continuous progress of human civilization, the whole world will have a newer and more equal understanding of women. Diversified Australia will also become an out-and-out equal society for men and women.
