Womens work and equality

Women’s work and equality:-

The low value attached to women’s household and care- giving work is not an individual or family matter. It is part of a larger system of inequality between men and women. it, therefore, has to be dealt with through actions not just at the level of the individual or the family but also by the government. Equally is an important principal or our constitution. The constitution says that being male or female should not become a reason for discrimination. The government is, therefore, committed to understanding the reasons for this and taking positive steps to remedy the situation. The government has set up anganwadis or child-care centers in several villages in the country. The government has passed laws that make it mandatory for organizations that have more than 30 women employees to provide crèche facilities. The provision of crèches helps many women to take up employment outside the home. It also makes it possible for more girls to attend schools.
