2. Women and children are
usually the main targets,
who suffer in a number
of ways mainly because
they are weaker, helpless
and economically
dependent.
3. Women and children are the soft targets.
They are the victims of capitalism,
development & environment
They suffer in a number of ways because they
are:
Weaker
Helpless
Economically dependent etc.
Illiteracy
Wide Gender Discretion
4. Dowry- Dowry is property or money that a
bride brings to her husband on the day of
their marriage. It is sad, but many women
who bring few dowry's after marriage are
killed. The dowry is said to be a source of
many of the problems in India to begin with.
5. Is also known as a sex
selective abortion that
favors the male sex and
deselects the female
sex and because of
this, India has a low
female sex ratio to that
of the men.
6. Health and wellbeing -- Women are not
cared for in the health standards that they
should be cared for, especially during child
labor. The maternal mortality rate is among
the highest in the world in India. They are
also malnourished because they are forced to
eat their husbands leftovers. Many women
are also not equipped with the education that
they need to fully understand and use their
new found rights.
8. 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
Maternal mortality in India is the 2nd highest in the
world
9. Domestic Violence-
Domestic Violence is
extremely high because of
the dowry that India has set
into play. Female
trafficking, which is sexual
abuse, is a big part of the
violence problem in their
society today. Every 93
minutes a woman is burnt
to death due to dowry
problem and every single
hour at least one woman is
raped in India
10. Overworked - Many women in India are
overworked. They often work double the hours
that the males do, but they are not even given
credit for it.
•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.
11. o The World Health Organisation estimates that 1.6
billion early deaths occur annually from cooking stove
pollution.
o Between 400,000 to 550,000 children less than five
years and women die each year in India due to indoor
smoke. Chula smoke is the third-
highest cause of disease and
death, after dirty water and
lack of sanitation.
Hence, by providing access to
clean water, sanitation, food
and well-ventilated homes,
over half the diseases and
premature deaths could be
avoided in India.
12. •Divorce- Divorce is very
common in India because it
is looked down on in society
comparable to the U.S. many
years ago. It is a signature of
failure, but especially for the
women.
13. •After losing the forest and getting
rehabilitated from their native places,
men fold usually migrate to towns in
search of some job while women are
left behind to look after the family
and household with little resources
•Development projects like mining
play havoc with the life of women.
The National Network for Women and
Mining (NNWM) with about 20 groups
in different in different mining states
of India is rightly fighting for a
"gender audit" of India's mining
companies. The displaced women are
the worst affected, as they do not get
any compensation and are totally
dependent upon the males for wages
15. Ministry of women
and child
development has

women & mining

20 groups in different
mining states of India

16. Besides the government initiatives there are
number, of non-governmental organization
(NGOs) mostly as "Mahila Mandals " to create
awareness amongst women of remote village
even to empower them, train them, educate
them and help them to become economically
self- dependent. On the international level,
the United Nations Decade for Women (1975-
85) witnessed inclusion of several women
related issues on international agenda
17. United Nations
Decade for Women
(1975-85)
included several
women related
welfare issues on
international
agenda
18. CEDAW (International
Convention on the
Elimination of all forms
of Discrimination
against Women, 1979)
is one of the result of
the program for
protection &
promotion of women’s
human right & socio-
economic upliftment
19. It is found that the income of
the women has been
increased after joining the
SHGs.
The good practice of the
women SHGs in the study
area is repayment of the loan
in time. Nearly 64% of the
debtor paid their monthly
due with in the time, even
some members 19% paid
their due in advance.
In this way SHGs in north
Tamil Nadu are very
successful to develop women
empowerment and rural
areas.

Smile Foundation, aims to

26. The Women of India
These women have done so much more than
just the few things I listed off for each individual. As
you can see, India has come a long way, but there is
still work to be done. By the efforts of these women,
and many more, hopefully men and women in India
can live in a society of equal rights and equal power
without the stigmas from the history in India.
