Women Empowerment In India (by Bikramjit Deka) – APSC Mains Essay

Women Empowerment In India – APSC Mains Essay

(Essay submitted in APSC Mains Essay Writing Contest 2019 – Essay Topics for week 8)

 

Women Empowerment In India by Bikramjit Deka

“I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved” – B. R. Ambedkar

“Women empowerment” has become the new buzzword across the globe in the last few decades. On 11 December 2018 when India successfully tested its nuclear-capable ICBM missile Agni-V. But, behind all these was the story of grit, of determination – The story of Tessy Thomas, An Indian scientist and Project Director for both Agni-VI and Agni-V missiles.  She is the first woman to lead missile teams in India, Tessy Thomas is known as the “Missile Woman of India”.

According to the World Bank – Empowerment is the process of increasing the capacity of individuals or groups to make choices and to transform those choices into desired actions and outcomes. Women Empowerment refers to the increasing the spiritual, political, social or economic strength of women.

In ancient times, the status of women started declining from the Vedic era,  social evils like Sati, female infanticide, dowry, and child marriage have been haunting Indian society. The Indian renaissance began with the help of leaders like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, who stood for Abolition of Sati, increasing age for marriage, Widow Remarriage, etc since then, the status of women in India has undergone a sea-change. Women have started becoming aware and they have demanded equal space in the social institutions and an acknowledgment for their identity.

India as a nation has observed significant changes in its socio-political and economic conditions. Such as, rise in literacy rate of women, work opportunities for women, equality in the wages, In recent years, India has seen woman holding the significant chairs of the governance like Lok Sabha speaker, eminent ministries and also some top-notch places in corporate world like Arundhati Bhattacharya, Indra Nooyi, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, etc. Women performances in sports have undergone through a drastic change, providing excel performances worldwide, players like Mary Kom, PV Sindhu, Apurvi Chandela, and Hima Das, etc have made their presence strongly felt in their respective fields.

In India, union governments have taken significant steps. The constitution provided right to vote, employment opportunities, provisions like maternity relief in workplaces, Government policies like “New national policy for Women” and schemes like Beti Bachao- Beti Padhao, “Janani Suraksha” which emphasizes on the dignity of woman.

It is the irony of Indian society where, the success of all-women crew which circumnavigated the globe on sailboat INSV Tarini. The same month carried reports of a girl-rape case in Kathua highlighting the paradoxical situation of women empowerment in India. India belongs to a land where women are revered as a goddess. They are given a sacred status whereas on the other hand, they are debarred entry to Sabarimala temple. India still records with high maternal mortality rate, Increase in Crime against women which is a matter of great concern. Though India has overcome itself from series of gender disparities, still there is a clump of the population living under the fear of rape, trafficking, domestic violence, acid attack, sexual harassment, and female infanticide as the harsh reality even after the attempts to prohibit through the law.

In Conclusion, while we may walk a few miles towards women empowerment, the road is a long one. The need of the hour is to enable women to realize their potential. While the government must take measures like for health, education, employment, awareness for women, etc. It is incumbent on society to create awareness and create public values which will promote women empowerment.

Women Empowerment In India (by Amlan Baishya) – APSC Mains Essay

Women Empowerment In India – APSC Mains Essay

(Essay submitted in APSC Mains Essay Writing Contest 2019 – Essay Topics for week 8)

 

Women Empowerment In India by Amlan Baishya

Women empowerment is the realisation of rights of women including equality, liberty, dignity, means of livelihood, health, education etc. Nehru said “As women move, the family moves, the nation moves”. So, the progressive realisation of worth and success of a nation is defined by the place women hold in society.

The position of women has seen many crests and troughs with higher status in early Vedic period and steady decline thereafter, especially during Gupta period. Evils like sati, female infanticide, child marriage, dowry etc. were widely practised. The emancipation of women started with efforts of Rammohan Roy, Ishwar Vidyasagar, Jyotiba Phule etc. and the British through Regulation XVII, 1828 banning sati, Widow Remarriage Act, 1856, Sharda Act, 1928 etc. The freedom struggle saw women playing an active role with Gandhi being a great mobiliser. However, the issue of women empowerment still haunts us even after seven decades of independence.

Major issues hampering women empowerment include –

  • Political – Number of women in authoritative positions is miniscule despite 48% population being women. Their lack of representation makes the political system skewed and non-inclusive.
  • SocialPatriarchy still persists and practices like dowry, early marriage, skewed sex ratio affect their rights and status
  • Economic – Lack of employment opportunities, no tangible value attached to household chores deny economic justice.
  • Cultural – Many cultures allot them a subsidiary position. Health and hygiene issues like menstruation are still taboo.
  • SecurityViolence against women, domestic and outside, are on the rise.
  • EnvironmentalPollution harms pregnant women more. Feminization of agriculture without land titles, suitable machinery, cooking using wood fuel etc. have implications on women’s health.

Women empowerment issues have been in news recently. Public outcry over Nirbhaya case led to amending Juvenile Justice Act, IPC, CrPC. Supreme Court judgements include decriminalising adultery, banning triple Talaq, allow women entry into Sabarimala Temple. Article 370 is also being discussed as being discriminatory. There have been progressive efforts by Parliament and government – MGNREGA, Prevention of Sexual Harassment in Workplace Act, Poshan Abhiyan, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Ujjwala, PM Matru Vandana Yojana etc and also a dedicated ministry of women and child development. Constitutional provisions also include fundamental rights to equality, life, directive principles like equal pay, one-third reservation in local bodies etc.

However, there still exist gaps and a lot has to be achieved. Some steps may include –

  • Reservation policy in Parliament and State Legislatures.
  • Include more women in higher judiciary (Currently, only 3 out of 31 judges of Supreme Court are women).
  • Provide education and promote participation of girl child through scholarships and coaching.
  • Gender budgeting, gender sensitive schemes and ideas should be promoted
  • Recruit more women personnel in police and armed forces
  • Encourage women-based start-ups and women in senior management of companies
  • Media, advocacy and outreach to sensitise the public about issues of women

India ranks 108th out of 149 countries in WEF Global Gender Gap Index. It also ranks abysmally low on Gender Inequality Index of UNDP. Hence, there is a long road ahead. We must strive to create a society where women feel safe, included, respected and equitable. Change is needed not just in the social, economic and political structure but in our mind-set, behaviour and conscience. We must aspire to achieve not just constitutional goals but also universal human goals to give women the place she rightfully deserves.

Women Empowerment In India (by Upasana Borah) – APSC Mains Essay

Women Empowerment In India – APSC Mains Essay

(Essay submitted in APSC Mains Essay Writing Contest 2019 – Essay Topics for week 8)

 

Women Empowerment In India by Upasana Borah

 

Violance against women is continuing since the Ancient period of Mahabharat which portrays the violence against Dropati. Indian Society has always revered women.Many female deities Goddess Saraswati, Laxmi, Durga, Kali are worshipped across the whole over India. On other side, the system of patriarchal system is continuing since the time of Rig Veda. Women suffer this and remain silent because she is to be discriminated among the society, she can’t speak or stood up against the crime she is been suffering, she is afraid because of the customs laid by our society.

The position of women in Indian Constitution is very wide. Over the past two decades,Violence against women is increasing and had came to be understood as a form of discrimination and violation of women’s Human Rights. The obligation to enact laws to address violence against women, is now  the subject  matter of a wide legal and policy framework at the International, National and Regional levels. The constitution guarantees that all citizens of India (including women) have the fundamental right to live in peace and harmony where it is a global issue which has an impact in our society. Such violence has devastating effect on the lives of victims, their families and also communities.

The worth of a civilization can be judged by the place given to women in the society. One of several factors that justify the greatness of India’s ancient culture is the honorable place granted to women. They were deprived of their rights of equality with men. This advanced era of feminism when it’s agenda stresses on key concepts of individuality and embracing women hood, the prevailing scenes of violence against women threatens to topple the pillars on which the entire notion of feminism is based.

Wives(Women) are considered as better half and religious partners of their husband which means the half part of a man belong to his wife. Apart from these there are some peoples who still exists while saying a Girl child is being a burden towards the family so its better to abort the baby it is because there is lack of knowledge that in Today’s world a girl can do everything just she need support and love to care for her effort to overcome. The increasing numbers of rapes includes cases against minors such as the recent case in KATHUA RAPE CASE  portrays the brutality the women in the society face characterized by heinous acts that ashamed humanity as a whole. These acts takes in the form of rape,  harassment, human trafficking and numerous other kinds of crimes that the current government laws have failed to enforce it . The cause behind this mainly revolve around patriarchal norms of the society.  These norms have internalized the ‘vulnerability’ of women in the  society.

Women are continued to be treated as inferior by men, completely ignorant of the safeguards the the law provides to women.  The Government of India has launched various schemes as well as various schemes are running for the welfare of the women in both state and central level.

Once Swamy Vivekananda , said “There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved, it is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing”.

Thus, it is necessary to utilize the provisions enacted on our law for the protection of women and betterment of the society.
