Question

Mention different aspects of life in which women are discriminated or disadvantaged in India.

Answer 1

women's are given less respect as compared to men's. Men's of India thought that women's can not do anything. They are just for the work of homes.

Answer 2

Some of the examples of discrimination against women are as follows:

The literacy rate among women is only 54 per cent compared with 76 per cent among men.

The percentage of women in highly paid jobs is still very small. At many workplaces, women are paid less than men for the same job. An Indian woman usually works more hour than an average man on a daily basis.

Many Indian parents prefer to have a male child. A girl child is killed before her birth in many cases. This has led to an eschewed sex ratio in India.

There are many reports of harassment against women; both on the domestic front and outside the home.
