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.

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.
8/9/2019 Chetana-A Project Report on Women Safety and Empowerment.
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

10 million female foetuses have

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.
