Abstract
This study explores the views on gender justice and shows how consideration of the differences between women and men has an impact on women's employment. The concept of gender justice seeks to define justice between women and men in terms of situations and circumstances, and the different talents and responsibilities of men and women. The realization of justice depends on considering the situations and circumstances as well as the differences in the allocation of facilities, however, some believe only in gender equality. The purpose of this article is to answer two questions: First, is it possible to judge completely fairly and equally between people regardless of differences? Second, what is the impact of women's employment on life? In this paper, the following issues will be discussed: the concepts of equality, justice and the difference between them, entitlement justice, gender justice, justice from the perspective of law and religions, the distinction of justice from equality, the concept of gender from the viewpoint of psychologists, feminists and Islam, the concept of women's employment status in society, the causes and factors of women's approach to employment, the impact of women's employment on the individual, family and society, the impact of gender justice on women's employment, and finally the strategies in the field of women's and men's employment. The research method is analytical, critical and documentary.
