Human rights and gender justice in India

Gender injustice is a problem that is seen all over the world. But unless there are certain attitudinal changes, women will continue to get a raw deal. They need to be educated. Educated mothers take care of their children irrespective of the boys or girls.

It is well known fact that the education of a girl is the education of family continuing its impact on the future generations while the education of a boy is the education of a single person. Women has to be treated as equal partners in decision-making and implementation rather than as beneficiaries. The development of a nation depends upon GDI that is, Gender Development Index and HDI that is Human Development Index. Our country ranks 98 for the former and 127 for latter.

In these days of globalization, the global picture of women is most ignoble and inequitable. Women constitute 50 per cent of the worlds population, and account for 66 per cent of the work done, but they have only a share of 10 per cent in the worlds income and own one per cent of the worlds property.
