Why need of women empowerment?

“Women are worshipped as goddess in INDIA, But not given her true
position.”
The main problems faced by women in past and present

• Gender discrimination
• Women education
• Female infanticide
• Dowry
• Marriage in same caste and child marriage
• Atrocities on women: With their age, they have been raped, kicked, killed, subdued &
humiliated almost daily.
 Why it should be
•Reflecting into the “Vedas purana” of Indian culture, woman is
being worshiped such as LAXMI MAA, goddess of wealth;
SARASWATI MAA, for wisdom; DURGA MAA, for power.

• The status of women in India, particularly in rural areas needs to

address the issues of empowering women.

•Leaving a major number of urban and suburban women, the Indian

women are still crying for simple justice. Which is not even allowed to
have been accessed to them.

•Ironically, women have not actively participated in their own

emancipation mainly due to low economic independence.

•With their age, they have been raped, kicked, killed, subdued &
humiliated almost daily.
 Contd.
•About 66% of the female population in rural area is unutilized.
This is mainly due to existing social customs.
•In agriculture & animal care the women contribute 90% of the
total work force.

•Women constitute almost half of the population, perform nearly

2/3rd of its work hours, receive 1/10th of the world’s income & own
less than 1/100th of the world property.

•Among the world’s 900 million illiterate people, women out

number men two to one.

•70% of people living in poverty are women.

•Lower sex ratio i.e. 933.

 Contd.
•The male child perceived as an asset for the landless rural
laborer, a dowry earner for a greedy middle class family and a
simple matter of pride for the mother.

•The existing studies show that the women are relatively less
healthy than men even though, they belong to same class.
They constitute less than 1/7th of the administrators &
managers in developing countries.

•Only 10% seats in world’s parliament & 6% in national

cabinets are held by them.
