YOU CAN TELL THE CONDITION OF A NATION BY LOOKING AT THE STATUS OF ITS

WOMEN.

---JAWAHARLAL NEHRU

INDIVIDUALITY is her attribute and most precious jewellery as she believes in seeking a name for herself. Indian have women put their foot in varied areas and have made a remarkable name and identity for themselves in the society. Some have entered the political arena, some are flying planes and others are entrusted the responsibility of running MNCs. They’re at par with men in terms of their economic standing. Woman’s status today has truely undergone a drastic change.

Despite creating a dignified position in this male dominated society; the struggle for each and every woman is far from over.

Although it’s evident that women have left nothing unaccomplished, the percentage of women achievers to men achievers is comparatively low.

Women are subject to prejudice by the dominant patriarchy and are in turn left out from supremacy. Time and again, she has been redefining what liberation means to her and has been assessing the reaction of the society (men) to it.

THEY ARE THE VERY FEW

DYNAMIC WOMENVIRTRUOSO OF INDIA.

Women Are Uneducated:- Women and girls receive far less education than men, due both to social norms and fears of violence.

India's constitution guarantees free primary school education for both boys and girls up to age 14.

This goal has been repeatedly reconfirmed, but primary education in India is not universal.

Overall, the literacy rate for women is 39 percent versus 64 percent for men.

Girls are increasingly replacing their brothers on the farm while carrying on their usual responsibilities in housework.

Child marriages keep women subjugated.

Women are kept subordinate, and are even murdered, by the practice of dowry

Compelled to be a professional coupled with nurturing her children, a woman misses out on being an ideal mother to her children.

Rather, she should be given the choice to decide whether she is comfortable working or staying at home in concurrence with her personality.

But thanks to the help of feminists and other reformists, women have been able to uplift themselves by shedding their domestic tag.They have eventually managed to shake the brawny walls of social and economic exploitation. The modern woman of today is learning to break away from the shackles of the past.She is no more the traditional, timid, domesticated woman.The emerging new-age woman has the ability to equip herself with education thereby seeking her own identity, confidence and not compromising on her self-respect at any cost.

As women gain influence and

consciousness, they will make stronger

claims to their entitlements - gaining further training, better

access to credit and higher incomes -

and command attention of police and courts when

attacked.

Women too are into the race

Of the world. Strong desire to achieve

thingslead her to the greatest

heights.Its only a single notion resonating on this very

land is“IF IT IS FOR HER TO DO IT THEN NO ONE CAN STOP IT.”THANK YOU…
