Question

Speech on gender discrimination

Answer 1

Gender disparity still exists in India. Being born as women in the Indian society one has to face gender discrimination at all levels. At the household level - females are confined to the bounds of their household chores, raising children and looking after families, irrespective of her education degrees or her job profile. At her workplace: women have limited access to job opportunities and are paid less for the same work.

Education and learning opportunities: gender-wise literacy rates in India showcase the wide gap that exists between men and women. As per 2011 census data, effective literacy rates (age 7 and above) were 82.14% for men and 65.46% for women. The main reason behind parents unwilling to spend on girl’s education is the mindset that educating women is of no value as in the future they will only serve their husbands and the in- laws.

$\huge\mathcal\green{Gender \: Discrimination :}$

In Indian Civilisation, the child is believed to be a gift of god to be nurtured with love,care and affection in the family as well as in society. The sons are given preference over daughters. Sons are considered as a blessing. They earn income and are considered to be the caretakers of their parents in old age. A family without son is incomplete and has to undergo social embarrassment Women, on the other hand are pinpointed as a curse and burden. Some people think that to raise a girl child is just a wastage of time and money. In their views, only a man can be the head of the family. Women are here considered as secondary.

This mindset can be changed only by educating the female members of the society and empowering them to take their own decisions regarding education, marriage and their career. This will enable them to be independent and therefore will enhance the progress of the society as well as our nation.
