Which cases are binding the feet of women?

DOWRY

• Customs influence the way people dress, eat, and in general behave; they may take on the force of moral or statute laws.“Many people give and take dowry only because their parents and ancestors had been practicing it.”

RAPE CASES

• A lack of public safety: Women generally aren’t protected outside their homes. The gang rape occurred in public places, and even Indian authorities.

• A sluggish court system: Due to poor judiciary system no one has fear of punishment of their crime.

FEMALE INFANTICIDE & SEX SELECTIVE ABORTIONS

• Son-preference in Hindu cultures is largely based on the fact that men are better providers, and that sons are required for the proper performance of funeral rites

• As today’s world demands dowry due to this reason girl child is consider as the burden by the parents.

Prostitution

• In India most of the families are BPL , to complete the needs of her family a girl in our country has entered in this field, she has started doing work in bars , night clubs etc

• Mainly girls are kidnapped and sold at international level at high prices for prostitution in high societies

Immoral Traffic

• Increased demand of women (i.e. Teenage girls ) on the international level

• Gender-biased social practices has led parents to be persuaded by traffickers under false pretexts of marriage without dowry.

Domestic Violence

• Cultural and household stress factors contribute to the prevalence of domestic violence.

• Dowry from the girl side increases the expectations of her in-laws from her and also the birth of boy child (i.e. Vanashaj ) by her, when these demands are not fulfilled this results in domestic violence from her in-laws.

WALK TO EQUALITY:-

•By gender equality, we mean equality between women and men, girls and boys in all aspects of life including education, health, nutrition, access to economic assets and resources, political opportunity and freedom from coercion and violence.3 To achieve gender equality, progress must be made across all of these areas.

ENSURING SAFETY:- • Empowerment of woman is very necessary aspect in every field of life as well as in every

aspect of country ….Today the empowerment is the thing which can help house as well as industry.

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT:-

•Empowerment by itself may not place women on an equal footing with men. The greatest need of the hour is change of social attitude to women.

•Women empowerment can help in the progress and development of society but the thing is that for this woman need support of the family and her up coming relations. If the women will be supported in fulfilling her goals so in this way she can be proved more useful member of the society.
