The document proposes solutions to promote gender equality and empower women in India. It notes that while women make up 48.38% of the population, they lack equality. Major issues include low literacy rates, health problems, low economic participation, patriarchal societies, and domestic/sexual violence. The solutions proposed are to improve education for girls, increase economic opportunities for women, strengthen healthcare programs, promote women's political and social rights, and pass tougher laws against violence and discrimination. Implementing these comprehensive solutions could help achieve the UN's goal of gender parity and empower women in India.

BUT THEY ARE LACKING EQUALITY STATUS
1.LITERACY RATE
After 60 years of independence, 1 in
3 women in India are still
illiterate(1)
>Females over age 25 with
secondary education is 26.6%(2)

is 65.46% according to 2011
census whereas male rate is

pregnancy and place women at
higher risk for obstetrical
problems, which are more
common with the more
extensive FGM procedures.[3]
3.MAJOR HEALTH AND
HYGENIC PROBLEMS
-In 2005 India enacted the National Rural Health
Mission (NHRM). However, a 2011 research study
conducted by Nair and Panda found that although
India was able to improve some measures of maternal
health since the enactment of the NHRM in 2005, the
country was still far behind most emerging
economies.[4]
i>MALNUTRITION AND MORBIDITY
Ii>BREAST CANCER

DEVELOPMENT

and among agricultural workers the figure
drops down to 9.3%.(8)
5.PATRIARCHAL
SOCIETIES
>Patriarchy (rule by fathers) is a social
system in which the male is the primary
authority figure central to social
organization and the central roles of
political leadership, moral authority, and
control of property, and where fathers
hold authority over women and children.
> patriarchy has manifested itself in the
social, legal, political, and economic
organization of a range of different
cultures.
6. DOMESTIC AND
SEXUAL VIOLENCE
> sexual violence against women—is found
across the world and is currently viewed as
a hidden epidemic by the World Health
Organisation.(9)
>The most common reasons cited for
women's suicide are directly related to
depression, anxiety, gender disadvantage
and anguish related to domestic
violence.[10]
> The suicide rate is particularly high
among female sex workers in India, who
face numerous forms of discrimination
for their gender and line of work.[10]
>A woman is raped every 20 minutes in
India.(11)
>30 lakh girl children were lost to female
infanticide during 2001-2011.(12)
>About 10% of all the crimes committed in
the country are those of women abuse(13)

5. The 8 Millennium
Development Goals::
 1Eradicate Extreme Hunger
and Poverty
 2Achieve Universal Primary
Education
 3Promote Gender Equality
and Empower Women
 4Reduce Child Mortality
 5Improve Maternal Health
 6Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria
and Other Diseases
 7Ensure Environmental
Sustainability
 8Develop a Global
Partnership for Development
 At the Millennium Summit in September 2000
the largest gathering of world leaders in history
adopted the UN Millennium Declaration,
committing their nations to a new global
partnership to reduce extreme poverty and
setting out a series of time-bound targets, with
a deadline of 2015, that have become known as
the Millennium Development Goals.
 WHERE WE ARE?
Given current trends, India is moderately or
almost nearly on track. However, as the
Government of India MDG Report 2009 notes,
“participation of women in employment and
decision-making remains far less than that of
men, and the disparity is not likely to be
eliminated by 2015.” Achieving GPI in tertiary
education also remains a challenge. In addition,
the labour market openness to women in industry
and services has only marginally increased from
13-18 percent between 1990-91 and 2004-05.

6. Implement of solutions
INNOVATIVE
EDUCATION
 Formation of village-based
groups to promote
girls’education, made up of
dynamic men and women.
Schools must be built ,books
secured and teachers trained.
Equally important,
communities must confront
the attitudes and assumptions
that prevent girls from
attending and excelling in
school,
 Women should gain new
information on human rights,
health and nutrition, childcare,
food production and business
skills so that these can help
them in future.
ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT
 A simple methodology in which
groups of 50 or so women pool
their savings and make the tiniest
amounts – pennies per woman per
week – grow into important sums.
When group members borrow
from the pool, they can start or
expand small enterprises, from
livestock rearing to market trading.
Members repay their loans with
interest, and the savings grow.

women,so issues relating to women

to be provided with
well trained doctors,
which only handle only
particular districts in it
say 5,and which are
provided with all basic
facilities for women
with cheap facilities

month a free check up
should be mantatory for
every women.
DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE AND
LAWS
 A tough laws should be
pass for major crimes

11. MAJOR PROBLEMS IN
IMPLEMENTION
In every society women struggle against gender norms that limit
their resources and opportunities for improvement, and because
we know that women’s empowerment is a tremendous resource
for social change and a prerequisite in the broader fight against
global poverty. But most fundamentally,women are important in
their own right. Profound changes arise when we work not only
with the most disempowered, but with the people and structures
around them that can support or undermine their struggle for a
life with dignity.We strive for a world in which a person’s rights,
responsibilities, opportunities and dignity are determined not by
their status as male or female, but as a human being. SO,MAJOR
PROBLEMS IS THE SUPPORT FROM EVERY HUMAN
BEINGS IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THEIR RIGHTS
