what steps are taken by the government of India to improve the condition of women in society
Answers
both men and women will given equal pay for the same kind of work..
Legislation does help a lot. Yet, it cannot achieve much without social change.
So, where do we begin ?
At home:
All the women, who are mothers, and all the men, who are fathers and willing to bring a positive change in the society,
Please treat your children, boys and girls alike.
Tell them that boys and girls are equal, they must be respected alike.
Teach them to respect emotions.
Tell them boys are not superior and the girls are not inferior.
Take their help in household activities. Kitchen is not a girl’s lab. Let your boys too enter. Send your girls too for buying stationery and other petty shopping.
For Boys:
If all mothers can make their sons understand that boys and girls are equal, boys can do some household activities, cooking etc., it will help them in respecting women and girls in the society and treat their wives in the future with respect and equality.
For Girls
Mothers should treat their daughters equally at home, in terms of food, education, domestic help and rest. They must stand as an example.
Teach them to be strong. Make them aware of the problems, the girls face.
Teach them how to act and react in certain unwanted circumstances.
Teach them some self defense techniques like Karate.
Teach your girls to ride the bicycle and two wheeler.
Allow girls to do jobs and earn self respect. (Of course I am not undermining the role of housewives here)
More than anything, be friendly with them, so that they can share their problems with you.
***However, I am not placing the onus only on the mothers. Fathers too can play a role.
But I insist that women should personally take interest in improving the conditions of the future women in India.
