There are many problems and difficulties facing working women, including the following:
Also, the number of children, their age and needs for care cause problems and constraints for working women, such as the enduring sense of dereliction and guilt towards her children due to her absence, along with other problems such as the inability to provide them with the affordable domestic servants due to the poor financial condition. If we conduct field studies on the reasons of sudden absence of women at work, we would find that most of them are limited to childhood illness and servants delusion, or because working women do not trust them.

- The difficulty of combining work and household chores.
- Inappropriate workplace, housing, and transportation.
- Lack of nurseries and kindergartens in or near the facilities or residential areas, or lack of affordable childcare that is not commensurate with women's income.
- Indecent behaviors by males, whether at work or on the way to and from work, or harassment of women workers during night shifts or household chores (for domestic workers).
- The harshness of working conditions for some women, especially in rural areas, whether due to natural geographical circumstances or the nature of hard physical work in agriculture, factories and others even if they are for a wage.
- The impact of some works on the health of working mothers in some sectors, including the chemical sector.
- Interference in the peculiarities of women in terms of shape, dress, the manner of speaking, appointments, or visits by the employer, some of the workers, or the family.
- Fear of spinsterhood; it is an important problem that upsets many working women because of the perception of inferiority towards them that is still prevalent to this day, though it has begun subsiding at present.
- Long working hours: Long working hours disturb working women because this leads to permanent default in family duties, due to lack of their presence and supervision of their families, especially in the early stages of childhood, where the child needs the permanent and direct care of his mother. However, overcoming this problem or minimizing its disadvantages can be done through providing nurseries and chambers of care in workplaces with reasonable prices that cover the operational needs, as well as employing trained babysitters to supervise them. Thus, women can be able to assure and observe their children from time to time, especially in cases of illness, in addition to spending times with them in times of rest or lunch. This is an important service implemented in many developed countries that care for women and family status. Unfortunately, what we observe in many hospitals and health centers or any public institution is the lack of the nurseries or childcare rooms in the workplace. Working mothers have the right to ensure a safe place where they can put and access their children regardless of the length of working hours.
- 10-Nurseries: we hear a lot about the bad treatment of children in nurseries and its reliance on ordinary employees who find it difficult to control a large number of children only by intimidation, having the negative psychological impact on them, especially if they are too young.
