“One of the most enduring cliches about India is that it is the country of contradictions . Like all cliches , this one too has a grain of truth in it . At the heart of the contradiction stand Indian women : for it is true to say that they are among the most oppressed in the world and it is equally true to say that they are the most liberated , the most articulated and perhaps even the most free . Can these two realities be simultaneously true ?” - Urvashi Butalia

REAL FACE OF INDIAN WOMEN

Fight For The Nation

“WHY” IS THE NATION’S CALL

§ THE UN has identified violence against women “The Most Pervasive” human rights violation that we know today.

§ According to United Nations Development Fund for Women, violence is the major cause of death and disability for women .

§ Femicides , rapes , acid attacks , murders , ill treatment of widows are some common cause of women violation in INDIA .

EDUCATE A WOMEN , SHE WILL EDUCATE YOUR NATION

§ There is direct relationship between EDUCATION and workforce participation .educating women can change the scenario.

§ Creating formal sectors for women employment and nurturing girls at early age to increase the employability and the fortune of the country .

§ Special programs on women should complement the general development programs .The later in turn should reflect greater gender sensitivity.

SOCIETY STATUS

We believe that establishing different legal groups for women all over the nation and linking them working altogether for women welfare can be an effective means to promote the agenda .

HUMBLEST WOMEN IS OUR TEMPLE : MOTHER INDIA

§ Give her “ECONOMIC INDEPENDECE” . Still , a women’s property is chattel and legally owned by a man , may be his husband or father .

§ Nationalize the concept of FREEDOM and DIGNITY .§ As Vivekananda has said ,“Liberty is the first

condition of growth .just as man has liberty to think and speak, so he must have liberty in food and cloth or in other things as long as he does not injure others.”

§ EDUCATE HER . Modern India is still ill literate .§ Enforce framed laws and provide desired security

to her.§ Equality in law will guide the scenario.§ Not a handful of women have joined politics and

come up for themselves.§ Special e-teaching for citizens that will surely

enhance mentality of people .§ I believe that india’s problems has simple solutions

but no takers .

STOP

DISCRIMINATIN

WHY WILL IT WORK

§ Awareness will definitely be the change .

§ Educating a women will let her realize where she stands .

§ Conducting integrated programs for women , making them self dependent will surely empower them

§ Not only framing laws but also getting them into play will definitely uplift the standard of Indian women .

§ Special programs for men to make them realize that a nation without women wont be a successful nation will be a huge change.
