PARAGRAPH education for women
Answers
Education is globally acknowledged as the most powerful means of empowering girls and women and protecting them from the violation of their human rights. Investing in girls' and women's education can transform, and even save, lives—the lives of girls and women, and the lives of their families and communities.Raja Ram Mohan Roy encouraged women education
To impart education to girls, various schools and colleges exclusively for women have been opened. Consequently women are gradually coming forward and have begun to occupy high positions in jobs and politics Now you can see many women working in the police, army and several other hard jobs, though their number is still much less than men in such jobs.
As a result of the above efforts made by the reformers and the government, the status women has considerably improved in the society. However, inspite of the best efforts of the social reformers and the government, many social evils especially the dowry systemm still persist in the society. More efforts are required to uproot this evil:
- Girls should be made economically independent. Right to work should be guaranteed to women, so that they are not a burden on their parents and husbands after marriage.
- Girls should be encouraged to get higher education. Only educated and financially independent girls can fight against this evil.
- All the marriages should be registered and an undertaking from the parents of the bridegroom should be taken that they have not taken anything in dowry.
- Inter-caste or inter-religions marriages should be encouraged.
- Mass-media can play an important role by creating awareness among the people against this evil.
