Women Status in India
Women Status in India
Women’s Status in India: In India, women still lag behind men despite some improvements have been made since Independence. India is still a male dominated, patriarchal society. Women in India are facing discrimination in various ways. The following points this explain:
1. Literacy Rate The literacy rate among women is lower as compared to men. According to Census 2011, total literacy rate is 74.04% in which male literacy rate is 82.14% and female literacy rate is 65.46%. In schools and colleges, dropout rate among girls is very high mainly because parents prefer to spend their resources for their boys.
2. Unpaid Works On an average, Indian woman works one hour more than an average man, but remains unpaid for work done at home.
3. Difference in Wages The Equal Remuneration Act 1976 provides that equal wages should be paid to equal work. Inspite of this act, women workers are paid less than men, even when both do exactly the same work.
4. Child Sex Ratio In many parts of India, parents prefer sons and find ways to have the girl child aborted before she is born. This sex-selective abortion has led to a decline in child sex ratio (number of girls per thousand boys). The country has a how sex ratio-merely 940 females per 1000 males. (Census 2011)
Violence against Women: In India, various kinds of harassment, exploitation and violence are common against women. In urban areas, violence against women has increased in recent years. Women are not safe even in their own home from domestic violence.
