/^t/However the Western culture gives women the best chances. After years of struggle for their rights, women are in a position almost equal to men. Some people even claim that men and women equality is a fact in Europe nowadays, but it is not true. Women discrimination is covert and that is why it is very difficult to detect. The constitutions of all European countries give women the same rights as men, and say that men and women are equal. But still women are discriminated. It is still a common situation that women are less paid for the same work. A male doctor gets at least ten percent higher salary than a female doctor at the same hospital, it is also him who is more likely to become the ward head. Most top jobs are more available to men, and performed by them not because they are better educated or more efficient, but because of their sex. Although it is prohibited by law in many countries, employers many a time refuse to employ women just because they are females.
