3.  Women constitute the largest population of the world. In other words they are
the most important component of every society.
 In most parts especially in rural areas, women are the ones that do most of the
work to feed their families. They work in gardens and other critical activities
such as raising children and taking care of the homes. They are responsible for
so many things that make the biggest part of human society.
 However, the unfortunate part out of this responsibility is that these women are
subject to severe gender-based violence that ends up leaving them dead or
disabled.
 The number of crimes against women reported in the city has more than
doubled from 2012 to 2013, according to data from the Mumbai police.

doubled from 2012 to 2013, according to data from the Mumbai police.

8.  Make girls smarter. Many pregnant women living in poverty don't get enough
iodine, so their fetuses' brains do not develop properly. Their children routinely
lose ten to 15 IQ points—particularly the girls, for reasons not fully understood.
The solution: Iodize salt, at the cost of a couple of pennies per person per year.

 Support a woman's business. With a microloan of $50, a woman can start a
business, producing income she can use to feed her children and send them to
school. To make a loan, go to Mercy Corps (MercyCorps.org) or BRAC
(BRACUSA.org), two groups helping women around the world.
 Keep a girl in school. A girl who gets an education will have fewer children,
earn more money, and be able to help her younger siblings. One excellent
support program operates in Cambodia, where uneducated girls are at great
risk of being trafficked into brothels. For $10 a month, you can keep a girl in
school through American Assistance for Cambodia (CambodiaSchools.com), or
for $13,000, you can build an entire school that will revolutionize life in a village
forever.

12.  In India, women are devalued traditionally and the
men are normative reified. According to Hindu
mythology, the word ‘Ardhanarishvara’ meaning "The
Lord whose half is a woman". What is the value of a
man without a woman? We shouldn’t forget that there
are many temples in our country devoted to the
Goddesses and men also use to visit the temples for
worshiping them. We need both male and female each
other. We must work all together and both needs each
other to survive and flourish.
