If a woman worker has a written contract but cannot understand its language, what problem remains?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Lack of informed consent and understanding of rights
A written contract protects a worker only when she can understand its language, terms, wages, working hours, and grievance procedure. If she cannot understand it, informed consent and awareness of rights are still missing. Merely having a contract does not guarantee complete legal protection, wage equality, or access to social security. Exam tip: Mention understandable contract language as an essential part of workers’ rights.
