• In 2012, women occupied only eight out of 74 ministerial positions in the Union council of ministers. There were only two women judges out of 26 judges in the Supreme Court, and there were only 54 women judges out of 634 judges in various high courts.

• 60 % of the Girls are married before the age of 16• Nearly 60% of the married girls bear children before they

are 18• 125,000 women die from pregnancy and related causes

every year

Contd.• Maternal mortality in India is the 2nd highest in the

world• About 66% of the female population in rural area is

unutilized. This is mainly due to existing social customs.

• In agriculture & animal care the women contribute 90% of the total work force. Women constitute almost half of the population, perform nearly 2/3 rd of its work hours, receive 1/10 th of the world’s income & own less than 1/100 th of the world property.

• Among the world’s 900 million illiterate people, women out number men two to one. 70% of people living in poverty are women. Lower sex ratio i.e. 940.

. Leaving a major number of urban and suburban women, the Indian women are still crying for simple justice. Which is not even allowed to have been accessed to them.

She is just 15 yrs, her son is 18 months old

It is well known that women and children work in huge numbers in bidi-rolling, agarbatti-rolling, bangle making, weaving, brassware, leather, crafts and other industries.

Yet, only 3 % of these women are recorded as laborers.

Why need of Women Empowerment

• WOMEN ARE DEPRIVED OF:

• Gender discrimination• Decision Making Power• Access to Education• Freedom of Movement• Female infanticide • Dowry• Child marriage• Access to Employment• Atrocities on women: With their age, they have been

raped, kicked, killed, subdued & humiliated almost daily.

WAYS TO EMPOWER WOMEN:

Changes in women's mobility and social interaction; Changes in women's labour patterns; Changes in women's access to and control over

resources; and Changes in women's control over decision-making. Providing education Self employment Providing minimum needs like nutrition, health, sanitation,

housing by government through school, aanganwaadi, grampradhanand, NGO.

Without Women Empowerment there are no Rapid Progress in the Nation

Women have to realize their basic problem first....empowerment of women helps in raising the standard of the family that way all the members of the family get better standards and progress of the nation...

Today women is the root of the nation so without empowerment of women the  progress of the nation is not rapid....

CONCLUSION

• Women represent half the world’s population, and gender inequality exists in every nation on the planet. Until women are given the same opportunities that men are, entire societies will be destined to perform below their true potentials .The greatest need of the hour is change of

social attitude to women.
