WHY SOCIETY NEED WOMEN SAFETY !!

About 10% of all the crimes committed in the country are

those of women abuse.

Women make up two-thirds of the estimated 876 million

adults worldwide who cannot read or write

30 lakh girl children were lost to female infanticide during

2001-2011. A woman is raped every 20 minutes in India.

After 60 years of independence, 1 in 3 women in India are still

illiterate.

Only 39.5% women in India are economically

active, compared to 80% in China.

Of the 1.3 billion people who live in absolute poverty around

the globe, 70 percent are women.

10.9% of the female population owns land, and among

agricultural workers the figure drops down to 9.3%.

Less than 40% of women give birth in a health facility.

In 2001, the central government launched a comprehensive

“National Policy for the Empowerment of Women.” The

programme was ambitious and comprehensive with provisions

to support women in agriculture and industry. It also aimed to

provide education, health, nutrition and sanitation assistanceand to reduce violence against women. While the policy has

resulted in some progress over the last decade, it has been

ineffective towards substantially improving the conditions for

women. India still lags far behind its neighbours and other

fast-developing economies in terms of gender equality.

According to the 2012 Gender Inequality index from theUnited Nations Development Program, India was ranked at

132 out of 148 countries. Women-related programmes were a

highlight of the 2013 Union budget but several women groups

have stated that ineffective design makes these provisions

hollow.

Domestic violence can be defined as a pattern

of behaviour in any relationship that is used

to gain or maintain power and control over an

intimate partner. Abuse can be

physical, sexual, emotional, economic or

psychological actions or threats of actions that

influence another person.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE


6/25

One in three ever married women report having

been slapped by their husband.

Between 12 and 15 % report having their arms

twisted, being pushed, shaken, kicked, dragged, or

beaten up, or having something thrown at them.10% report that their husbands have physically

forced them to have sex.

Around two-third of married women in India were

victims of domestic violence and one incident of

violence translates into women losing seven working

days in the country.

One in seven ever married women have suffered

physical injuries as a result of spousal violence.

For most women who have ever experienced spousal

violence, the violence first occurred within the first two

years of their marriage.

Female foeticide is the act

of aborting a foetus because it is female. This is

a major social problem in India and has cultural

connections with the dowry system that is

ingrained in Indian culture, despite the fact

that it has been prohibited by law since 1961.


9/25

Every year one in 25 female

foetuses are aborted.

There are only 762 girls for 1000

boys, and one in every four girls

are aborted.

There are instances of women

getting pregnant 11 times in amatter of years just to have a boy.

It is estimated that more than

10 million female foetuses have

been illegally aborted in India.

30 lakh girl children were lost to female infanticide during 2001-

2011.

Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving

sexual intercourse, which is initiated by one or more

persons against another person without that

person's consent. The act may be carried out by

physical force, coercion, abuse of authority or

against a person who is incapable of valid consent.


12/25

some time in their lives.

Approximately 1 in 20 women and men (5.6% and

5.3%, respectively) experienced sexual violence other than rape.

The development of any nation or region is indicated

by the level of education and that too of both genders.

That is why ‘education for all’ is strongly recommended

and focused on by our government. India has made a

considerable progress in this sector and with all the

efforts the literacy rate grew to 74.04% in 2011 from

meagre 12% in 1947. But still the level is well below

the world average literacy rate of 84%.


15/25

Females constitute about 50% of country’s

human resource but lack of education snatches

their chance to be a part of the progress and

development of India.Poverty is the root cause of many problems in

India and also of low female literacy rate as

more than one-third of population in India is

living below the poverty line.

Another barrier to female education in India is

the lack of female teachers. As India is a gender segregated society, it is a very important factor

in the low female literacy rate in India.

The negative attitude of parents towards the

girl child and her education is one of the major

reasons of low female literacy rate in India.
