Violation of Women‘s Rights in India: Problems and Remedies
Journal Title: Research Journal of Philosophy & Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Millions of women throughout the world live in abject deprivation of their basic human rights for no other reason than that they are women. Lack of education, access to health care, housing and sanitation, equal wage and opportunity to work, are some of the basic rights of every individual and women are deprived of their rights. Infact the discriminatory attitude towards woman starts from the womb itself where she gets killed being a female. This increase in violence against women itself hindering the social, economical, political and cultural progress in the country. Indian constitution not only grants equality to women, but also empowers the state to adopt measures in favour of women. Presently many laws are in favour of women but the problem is that women are not aware of their rights and the goal of gender equality is far from being realized in a country like India. The present paper explores the question about women’s right in India. It attempts to grapple with few challenges faced by women in India like dowry, female foeticide, domestic violence, early marriage, sale and trafficking of girls etc. and to find remedies so that women can be empowered.
