2. âOne of the most enduring cliches
about India is that it is the country of
contradictions . Like all cliches , this one
too has a grain of truth in it . At the
heart of the contradiction stand Indian
women : for it is true to say that they
are among the most oppressed in the
world and it is equally true to say that
they are the most liberated , the most
articulated and perhaps even the most
free . Can these two realities be
simultaneously true ?â
- Urvashi Butalia
REAL FACE OF INDIAN WOMEN
Fight For The Nation
3. âWHYâ IS THE NATIONâS CALL
§ THE UN has identified
violence against women âThe
Most Pervasiveâ human rights
violation that we know today.
§ According to United Nations
Development Fund for
Women, violence is the major
cause of death and disability
for women .
§ Femicides , rapes , acid
attacks , murders , ill
treatment of widows are
some common cause of
women violation in INDIA .
4. EDUCATE A WOMEN , SHE WILL EDUCATE YOUR
NATION
§ There is direct relationship
between EDUCATION and
workforce participation .educating
women can change the scenario.
§ Creating formal sectors for
women employment and
nurturing girls at early age to
increase the employability and
the fortune of the country .
§ Special programs on women
should complement the
general development
programs .The later in turn
should reflect greater gender
sensitivity.
5. MEASURES TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT

set up a department for women and child .
27 major women specific schemes identified for
monitoring to access quantum of benefits flowing to
women .

GENDER EQUALITY
SOCIETY STATUS
We believe that establishing different
legal groups for women all over the
nation and linking them working
altogether for women welfare can be an
effective means to promote the agenda .
8. HUMBLEST WOMEN IS OUR
TEMPLE : MOTHER INDIA
§ Give her âECONOMIC INDEPENDECEâ . Still , a
womenâs property is chattel and legally owned by a
man , may be his husband or father .
§ Nationalize the concept of FREEDOM and DIGNITY .
§ As Vivekananda has said ,âLiberty is the first
condition of growth .just as man has liberty to think
and speak, so he must have liberty in food and
cloth or in other things as long as he does not
injure others.â
§ EDUCATE HER . Modern India is still ill literate .
§ Enforce framed laws and provide desired security
to her.
§ Equality in law will guide the scenario.
§ Not a handful of women have joined politics and
come up for themselves.
§ Special e-teaching for citizens that will surely
enhance mentality of people .
§ I believe that indiaâs problems has simple solutions
but no takers .
9. STOP
DISCRIMINATIN
G
WHY WILL IT WORK
§ Awareness will definitely be the
change .
§ Educating a women will let her
realize where she stands .
§ Conducting integrated programs
for women , making them self
dependent will surely empower
them
§ Not only framing laws but also
getting them into play will
definitely uplift the standard of
Indian women .
§ Special programs for men to
make them realize that a nation
without women wont be a
successful nation will be a huge
change.
