2. 1. Introduction
• 1. Introduction Whether and when the world’s population stabilizes will
depend in large measures on changes in the status of women around the
world. There is a growing body of scientific evidence supporting the view
that improvement in women’s status is good development policy and may
well be the key to lower birth rates.
• Women often jugle multiple roles, balancing their time between
household responsibilities and economic activity. Women are the primary
custodians of the health and well being of the family. Increasingly, they
contribute to family income without a corresponding decrease in domestic
chores, women are common to all regions of the world.

3. 2.Understanding Gender
• According to the World Development Report (WDR) 2012, gender is defined
as socially constructed norms and ideologies which determine the behaviour
and actions of men and women.
• Gender roles vary from one country to another, but almost everywhere,
women face disadvantages relative to men in social, economic and political
spheres of life. Where men are viewed as the principal decision makers,
women often hold a subordinate position in negotiations about limiting
family size, contraceptive use, managing family resources, protecting family
health, or seeking jobs.
• Gender differences affect women’s health and well – being throughout the
life cycle:

4. 3.Gender basic violence
• 'Gender-based violence' and 'violence against women' are terms that are
often used interchangeably as most gender-based violence is inflicted by
men on women and girls. However, it is important to retain the 'gender-
based' aspect of the concept as this highlights the fact that violence against
women is an expression of power inequalities between women and men.
4: Violence Against women
• violence against women is understood as a violation of human rights and a
form of discrimination against women and shall mean all acts of
gender‐based violence that result in, or are likely to result in, physical,
sexual, psychological or economic harm or suffering to women, including
threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether
occurring in public or in private life.

5. 5.Empowering women
• Empowering women to participate fully in economic life across all sectors is
essential to build stronger economies, achieve internationally agreed goals
for development and sustainability, and improve the quality of life for
women, men, families and communities.
• 5.1: Eductaion
• Education is important for everyone, but it is a critical area of empowerment
for girls and women. This is not only because education is an entry point to
opportunity but also women’s educational achievements have positive ripple
effects within the family and across generations.
Education is much more than reading and writing. It is an essential
investment countries make for their futures, a crucial factor in reducing
poverty and achieving sustainable development.

6. • If you Educate a man , you educate a person but if you educate a woman ,
you educate a nation ,,,,,,, said mahatma Gandhi
• 5.2: Employment oppurtunity
• Education also expands women’s employment possibilities and their ability
to secure their own economic resources. Women are less likely than men
to hold a paying job in part, because women are not treated as equals to
men in the work place. Women are paid less than men throughout the
world, although the gap is somewhat smaller in developed countries
• 5.3: legislating equality
• Governments have to enact legislation to provide equal opportunities for
women and men and to protect women from discrimination. However,
legislation to improve women’s status is often not enough to change
behaviour

7. • discrimination is considered essential to increasing women’s participation in
national development agendas and much has to be done beyond enacting
legislation.
• 5.4: Emphasizing Girl child
• With an aim to study the discussions and ideas to improve girl child
education in the country, whether it be facilities or economic assistance, the
'Girl child Education is vital in protection of child girl.
• 5.5: Male responsibility:
• A man’s true role is to take care of and protect the family. A woman’s true
role is to have children and keep the home environment suitable for the
upbringing of offspring who will become productive members of society.
