If a woman worker is threatened with dismissal after making a complaint, what is the biggest problem?

Correct answer: Access to justice is blocked due to fear of retaliation

The direct answer is option D: access to justice is blocked due to fear of retaliation. A dismissal threat after a complaint can frighten a worker into silence. Step by step: the woman reports a possible wrong; the employer threatens her livelihood; she fears losing work; other workers may also avoid complaints; therefore the complaint and justice system cannot function freely. Option D is correct because retaliation creates an unsafe environment and prevents people from using their rights. Option A, strong support system, is wrong because a strong system would protect the complainant rather than threaten her. Option B, equal opportunity, is wrong because punishment for speaking up is unequal and discriminatory treatment. Option C, increasing leadership, is wrong because a threat does not give the woman authority or leadership; it reduces her security and voice. The needed remedy would include protection from retaliation, confidential complaint channels, fair investigation and enforcement. Memory cue: complaint plus dismissal threat equals retaliation risk and blocked justice.
