READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE AND WRITE NOTEMAKING AND SUMMARY
Women Empowerment today, has become the most discussed topic
around the world. In basic terms, it means to diminish the gender gap
and providing equal opportunities and rights to men and women.
In India, women have always been subjected to acts of physical violence
and mental tortures since centuries. They are raped, physically
assaulted, subjected to mental harassment, killed for dowry, experience
workplace discrimination, paid less than men for the same job, not send
to school, etc. This suppression of women in all the spheres of life is a
major hindrance to the progress of the nation.
Most of the work done by women in India is unpaid and is in the
unorganized sector. Women in India constitute 49% of the agriculture
workforce though they hold even less than 2% of the land. Almost half of
the women in rural India don’t have a bank account in their own name
and a few of them have a valuable asset in their name.
Women’s contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in India is
at 17%, much lower than the global average of 37%. Nearly 54% of
criminal offenses in India involve women and it is also reported that at
national capital Delhi, over 90% of women have experienced some kind
of physical or sexual offense in public places.
The government of India is making progress by enacting new laws and
implementing them, safeguarding the interests of women. The society, as
well as other government and private organizations, must come forward
to empower women.
