Are women empowered in our society?
Undoubtedly, the women these days are more empowered than they ever were a few decades ago. Owing to the spread of education and liberal ideas, women enjoy much more freedom than they used to in the past. We have many indicators that prove it.
First and foremost is the LAW of the country. Women have equal rights to men. The law protects women’s rights. In case there is any violation, the law takes quick action against the offenders. We have many women ministers, officials, bureaucrats, military, air-force, navy, police, etc. In the BJP led Government we have some really charismatic Cabinet ministers such as Sushma Swaraj, Smriti Irani, and Nirmala Sitharaman.
The literacy rate of women is becoming higher; female foeticide is decreasing; gender ratio and discrimination is also falling. The number of women working is increasing. We have women who guard the hostile international borders; we have women fighter pilots in the Indian Air-force; more women players are winning medals for India in sports. Who does not remember P.V. Sindhu, Saina Nehwal, Sania Mirza, etc.?
All the above mentioned trends and facts indicate that women are more empowered in our society now.
