6. Which cases are binding the feet of women?
DOWRY
• Customs influence the way people dress, eat, and in general
behave; they may take on the force of moral or statute
laws.“Many people give and take dowry only because their
parents and ancestors had been practicing it.”
RAPE CASES
• A lack of public safety: Women generally aren’t protected outside their
homes. The gang rape occurred in public places, and even Indian
authorities.
• A sluggish court system: Due to poor judiciary system no one has fear of
punishment of their crime.
FEMALE INFANTICIDE & SEX SELECTIVE ABORTIONS
• Son-preference in Hindu cultures is largely based on the fact that men
are better providers, and that sons are required for the proper
performance of funeral rites
• As today’s world demands dowry due to this reason girl child is
consider as the burden by the parents.

7. Prostitution
• In India most of the families are BPL , to complete the needs of her family a
girl in our country has entered in this field, she has started doing work in
bars , night clubs etc
• Mainly girls are kidnapped and sold at international level at high prices for
prostitution in high societies
Immoral Traffic
• Increased demand of women (i.e. Teenage girls ) on the international level
• Gender-biased social practices has led parents to be persuaded by
traffickers under false pretexts of marriage without dowry.
Domestic Violence
• Cultural and household stress factors contribute to the prevalence of
domestic violence.
• Dowry from the girl side increases the expectations of her in-laws from her
and also the birth of boy child (i.e. Vanashaj ) by her, when these demands
are not fulfilled this results in domestic violence from her in-laws.

8. What can be done by us?
Establish high-level
corporate leadership
for gender equality.
Treat all women and men
fairly at work – respect
and support human rights
and nondiscrimination.
Ensure the health,
safety and well-being
of all women workers.
• Ensure that all policies are
gender-sensitive –
identifying factors that
impact women and men
differently – and that
corporate culture advances
equality and inclusion.
• Pay equal remuneration,
including benefits, for
work of equal value and
strive to pay a living wage
to all women and men.
• The safety of women while
travelling to and from work and
company-related business.
• Strive to offer health insurance
or other needed services –
including for survivors of
domestic violence.

9. Promote equality
through community
initiatives and advocacy
Measure and publicly
report on progress to
achieve gender equality.
Starting of women

Training a women to
protect
herself in any situation

women’s leadership in, and
contributions to, their
communities and ensure
sufficient representation of
women in any community
consultation.

progress, both internally
and externally, using data
disaggregated by gender.

get justice against the
violence.

11. WALK TO EQUALITY:-
•By gender equality, we mean equality between women and men, girls and boys in all
aspects of life including education, health, nutrition, access to economic assets and
resources, political opportunity and freedom from coercion and violence.3 To achieve
gender equality, progress must be made across all of these areas.
ENSURING SAFETY:-
•Empowerment of woman is very necessary aspect in every field of life as well as in every
aspect of country ….Today the empowerment is the thing which can help house as well as
industry.
WOMEN EMPOWERMENT:-
•Empowerment by itself may not place women on an equal footing with men. The
greatest need of the hour is change of social attitude to women.
•Women empowerment can help in the progress and development of society but the
thing is that for this woman need support of the family and her up coming relations. If
the women will be supported in fulfilling her goals so in this way she can be proved more
useful member of the society.
