• the political parties who are spending
crores of rupees on dubious and
propaganda election advertisements and
looting our natural resources and tax
reserve money are most directly
responsible for all the sad things that are
happening to this country. If they would
have been honest, the surplus money could
have improved the security of our women,
girls ?
• In the present society women are acquiring
equal share with men.?
• In current situations are happening
because of both gender as girls are were
beyond their limits and boys were taking
advantages on girls
Make sure you are implementing
these?????
• The main reason behind this may be
present culture, movies, social websites
and mostly because of availability of
unwanted website which were not yet
banned.
• In movies if the film makers take care
of minimizing the ugly scenes which
may have more impact on youth
• Present generation teens and youth
were mingling, attracting, interacting
each other and in some cases this leads
to sexual harassments.
Let us go deep about
empowerment of women…..!!!

Harassment covers a
wide range of behaviors
of an offensive nature. It
is commonly understood
as behavior intended to
disturb or upset, and it is
characteristically
repetitive. In the legal
sense, it is intentional
behavior which is found
threatening or
disturbing. Sexual
harassment refers to
persistent and unwanted
sexual advances,
typically in the
workplace, where the
consequences of refusing
are potentially very
disadvantageous to the
victim.
Delhi gang rape: case backlog to blame
for increase in assaults says chief justice
The sharp increase in sexual assaults and
rapes throughout India may be related to
the country's vast backlog of criminal
cases waiting to be heard in court, the
chief justice has said.
Female
Infanticides
Dowryharassment Child Marriage
Female foeticide is the act
of aborting a foetus because it is female. This is a
major 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. In India a strong preference
for sons over daughters exists, unlike in Western
cultures. People realise smaller family sizes with
relatively greater number of sons through the use
of medical technologies. Pregnancies are planned
by resorting to 'differential contraception'
contraception is used based on the number of
surviving sons irrespective of family size.
Following conception, foetal sex is determined
by prenatal diagnostic techniques after which
female foetuses are aborted. Foetal sex
determination and sex-selective abortion by
medical professionals has grown into a 1,000
crore industry . Since 1991, 80% of districts in
India have recorded an increasingly masculine
sex ratio with the state of Punjab having the most
masculine sex ratio. According to the Indian
census, the sex ratio in the 0-6 age group in India
went from 104.0 males per 100 females in 1981,
to 105.8 in 1991, to 107.8 in 2001, to 109.4 in
2012 Slogans
1. Join hands, turn the
tide
Say 'NO' to female
infanticide.
Your mother was
someone's daughter
Still want to send your

Give the girl child an
opportunity to make
her parents proud.

Female
Infanticides DowryHarassment Child marriage
A Dowry is a process whereby
parental property is distributed
to a daughter at her marriage. A
dowry establishes some variety
of conjugal fund, the nature of
which may vary widely. This
fund ensures her support in
widowhood and eventually goes
to provide for her sons and
daughters. Dowry contrasts with
the related concepts called bride
price and dower. While bride
price is a payment by the groom
or his family to the bride's
parents, direct dowry is the
wealth transferred from bride's
family to groom and groom's
family, ostensibly for the bride.
Dowry is an ancient custom, and
its existence may well predate
records of it. Disputes related to
dowry often result in domestic
violence, such as dowry deaths.
Female
infanticides dowryharassment Child marriage
Child marriage is defined
as a formal marriage or
informal union before age
18.
While child marriage is
observed for both boys and
girls, disproportionately
most affected worldwide
are girls. It is related to
child betrothal and
unmarried teenage
pregnancy.
Other causes of child
marriage include poverty,
bride price, laws that allow
child marriages, religious
and social pressures,
regional customs, and
perceived inability of
women to work for money.
Can you say it is secure for a girl after 57 years of
independence after looking through these statistics????
Steps to be taken to Preserve
“The True Value of India”
Acts Against Harassment should be
taken???????
• 1. Guidelines should be prominently
notified to create awareness as regards the
rights of the female employees.
• 2. The employers should assist the persons
affected, in cases of sexual harassment by
outsiders or third parties.
• 3. Sexual harassment should be discussed
at worker’s meetings, employer-employee
meetings and at other appropriate forums.
• 4. Government is required to adopt
measures including legislations to insure
that private employers also observe these
guidelines.
Acts Against Female Foeticide should
be taken??????
• The structures necessary for the
implementation of the 1994 law have to be
created at the district level. Volunteers
have to be actively mobilized to monitor
the registration and the functioning of the
sex-determination clinics in different
districts. Effective alliances with ethical
Doctors have to be made from the local
levels. Test cases have to be filed against
the violators. And also important is that we
have to preserve with the media to
highlight obstacles in the implementation
of the Act. The consciousness of our
society has to be raised against this crime.
Simultaneously we have to get involved in
actions to ensure that the public at large
becomes supportive of this campaign. All
this is just one step towards efforts to
empower women in our society.
Steps to be taken to Preserve
“The True Value of India”
Acts Against Dowry should be
taken???????
• Asking or giving of dowry can be
punished by an imprisonment of up to six
months, a fine of up to Rs. 15000 or the
amount of dowry or imprisonment up to 5
years.
• Section 406:
Punishment for criminal breach of trust
shall be punished with imprisonment of
either description for a term which may
extend to three years, or with fine, or with
both.
• Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961
• (2) Whoever commits dowry death shall
be punished with imprisonment for a term
which shall not be less than seven years
but which may extend to imprisonment for
life.
Acts Against child marriages
should be taken??????
• The Child Marriage Restraint Act, was a law to
restrict the practice of child marriage. It was
enacted on 1 April 1930, extended across the
whole nation, with the exceptions of the states
of Jammu and Kashmir, and applied to every
Indian citizen. Its goal was to eliminate the
dangers placed on young girls who could not
handle the stress of married life and avoid early
deaths. This Act defined a male child as 21 years
or younger, a female child as 18 years or
younger, and a minor as a child of either sex 18
years or younger. The punishment for a male
between 18 and 21 years marrying a child
became imprisonment of up to 15 days, a fine of
1,000 rupees, or both. The punishment for a male
above 21 years of age became imprisonment of
up to three months.Forum for Fact-finding
Documentation and Advocacy at the Supreme
Court, the Government of India brought the
Prohibition of Child Marriage Act (PCMA) in
2006, and it came into effect on 1 November
2007. .
Conclusion
• You(th) can change.
• These are the acts
undertaken by the
government but they were
not implemented in a strictly
way.
• Let us come together to
eradicate these evils.
Arise, Awake, Stop not till you
reach your goal.
