GENDER EQUALITY IN INDIA
 In the past decade, while Indian GDP has grown by
around 6%, there has been a large decline in female
labour force participation from 34% to 27%. The male-
female wage gap has been stagnant at 50% (a recent
survey finds a 27% gender pay gap in white-collar
jobs).
 In India, most of the time property ,money and
surname is inheritance through male descendants
and married couples living with or near the
husband’s parents play a central role in gender
inequality .
12
13
TO MAKE GENDER EQUALITY
POSSIBLE
 Make education gender sensitive
 There has been much progress in increasing access to
education, but progress has been slow in improving
the gender sensitivity of the education system,
including ensuring textbooks promote positive
stereotypes.
 Raise aspirations of girls and their parents
 One of the key strategies must be to change how girls,
families and society imagine what girls can be and can
do. We need to give girls images and role models that
expand their dreams.
14
 Give proper value to ‘women’s work’
 The unpaid work women and girls do provide the
foundation for the global economy. This fact needs to
be highlighted more in the media, with the private .
 LISTEN AND REFLECT
 One of the main obstacles to eliminating prejudice is
that people have difficulty recognizing that it really
exists. Research has already proven that we all
reproduce stereotypes and pre-existing notions on
many topics, including gender and race. sector and in
communities.

TO MAKE GENDER EQUQLITY

WE NEED TO CHANGE OURSELF.
WE NEED TO BREAK THE OLD
