7. PRIMARY RESEARCH
Name: X
Age: 35
Place: kammanahalli
She was a house wife and taking care of her childrens and
her bed ridden husband. Initially her husband did not want
to let her do work even if she had a master degree . Her
husband let her do work only after they have started facing
financial problems.
8. •Name: x
•Age: 21
•Place: Kerala
•Mrs. X is a mother of two children in her age 21. She is a
upper class Muslim girl. Since she was from a Muslim
family, she faced a lot of problems due to their culture
and customs. She got married in 18. Her husband was
supportive to her education. But due to her pregnancy
period she had to quit her education. Since then she had
to face all the burdens and now she is also facing lot of
harassment from the husband’s family.
9. SECONDARY RESEARCH
• Inequalities faced by women at home
• Home is where the inequality is, a new survey has revealed.
• A new poll for BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour (75 percent women)
– unequal in their own homes due to the unfair division of
housework.
• Had arguments with a partner when asking for greater equality at
home.
• According to the poll, 68 percent do not have equality due to
experiences of sexual exploitation and abuse.
10. •The labour divide in the home is a topic that is gaining
more attention, particularly due to the rise in women’s
invisible labour during the pandemic.
•These tasks are work — they require time and effort —
but you don’t get paid, or, in many cases, even
recognized.
•Housework and chores are a form of unpaid labour that
largely falls on the shoulders of women.
•Equality, it seems, begins at home. And there’s quite a bit
of work still to be done.
11. THE 5WHYS
• Lack of legal protections
There’s also a lack of legal protections against harassment in the
workplace, at school, and in public. These places become unsafe and
without protection, women frequently have to make decisions that
compromise and limit their goals.
• Patriarchal Setup in our Indian Society
Since time immemorial, India has been an extremely patriarchal society.
The patriarchal setup in Indian society contributed to the fundamental
inequality between men and women.
12. • Lack of Education or Illiteracy
The problem is not that there are few literate women in India, but rather the
problem is the lack of awareness among women to use their rights.
• Social customs, beliefs and practices
The views of society, customs and cultural practices play a big role in
keeping women at lower places in the society – refusing them opportunities,
which are generally provided to men, who are considered the dominant
ones in India.
• Lack of employment equality
Only 6 countries in the world give women the same legal work rights as
men. In fact, most economies give women only ¾ the rights of men. Studies
show that if employment became a more even playing field, it has a positive
domino effect on other areas prone to gender inequality.
13. DEFINE
Our country India very proudly claims to be living in the
motherland and worship various woman deities and goddesses
but the dire concern of this is women sadly do not get the same
respect and equal status. Even while living in the country with
the largest democracy in the world, the women in India fight a
fight much harder than a man can even conceive it to be.
Indian women’s problems are not just limited to social rights,
the problems are widespread even in workplaces and homes.
The problems are infinite and are only rising by the day, let us
understand some of them.
14. How might we statement
How might we help women by spreading
awareness about their working conditions, wages,
provide familial, social and educational support,
and educate the current and next generation about
their struggles and fight for their equality and
rights in India
