Gender discrimination
The document discusses gender discrimination in rural Pakistan. It notes that discriminatory attitudes towards women are present from birth and continue through practices like forced marriage, honor killings, female infanticide, and domestic violence. Women have limited education and employment opportunities. The government needs to invest in female education, create more jobs for women to gain economic independence, conduct public awareness campaigns, and properly enforce laws against violence and discrimination. Eliminating gender discrimination could allow women to contribute more to Pakistan's development.

Women rights presentation
The document is a presentation about women's rights according to social conflict theory. It discusses Karl Marx's conflict theory and how it relates to inequality between women and men in society. It summarizes how, according to conflict theory, women face conflicts obtaining equal rights and treatment in areas like employment, education, healthcare, and sports in Pakistan. Women have lower literacy rates, participate less in the workforce, and face criticism for playing sports. Their situation in Balochistan is especially challenging with lack of access to education, healthcare, and justice. More needs to be done to protect women's rights.
GENDERSCAPES IN MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE OF THE COMMONS
By Soma Kishore Parthasarathy
National Facilitation Team Member. Mahila Kisan Adhikar Manch (MAKAAM)
The commons represent socio-ecological landscapes (Lele2014) of diverse needs and possibilities -
ecological terrain and living
subsistence, survival and sustenance
everyday needs of food, fodder, water etc thereof.
The footprint of development in the neo liberal development era,
policies programmatic interventions
Manifests spatially on the socio- economic landscape in varied ways
Manifests on gender relations.
This paper, analyses the emergent Genderscapes (Krishna 2012) in the wake of neoliberal policies of development,
Examines the implications of such processes on the lives and livelihoods of commons dependent communities and on women.
WOMAN SAFETY 2019 updates
The document summarizes key findings from a report on the Women, Peace and Security Index, which ranks 167 countries based on indicators of women's inclusion, justice, and security. India ranks 133rd overall. It performs poorly on women's education levels and employment rates compared to other South Asian countries. While financial inclusion of women has increased, political inclusion remains low. India also has a high son bias and rates of violence against women by intimate partners remain a problem. The majority of women in India feel authorities are not doing enough to ensure their safety.

Women face significant social inequality in Bangladesh according to various indicators. Gender inequality exists in health, education, employment, and political participation. Women have higher child mortality and malnutrition rates. Their literacy and education levels lag behind men's. Female labor force participation is much lower than men's, and women face large wage gaps. Women are vastly underrepresented in politics, holding only a small minority of seats. Violence against women, such as domestic violence, rape, acid attacks, and dowry-related violence is also prevalent in Bangladesh due to cultural and social factors. The causes of this inequality include gender norms, lack of policy implementation, poverty, and unequal distribution of wealth. National laws and policies have been enacted to promote gender equality but
Gender Discrimination & Women Empowerment
This presentation is about women empowerment & gender discrimination. Here, I have added a lot of facts & figures.
I have tried to highlight all the problems & hurdles regarding this problem and also suggested some ideas that can overcome all these problems.
Gender inequality
The document discusses gender inequality globally and in various contexts such as education, employment, family, and violence against women. It provides statistics showing gender gaps and disparities in areas like congressional seats held, statewide elected offices, literacy rates, and subjects taught in schools. For example, only 18.3% of congressional seats in the US are held by women. Two thirds of the global illiterate population are women.
Sex ratio in India
The document discusses India's skewed sex ratio, with there being 50 million more men than women. It provides statistics on sex ratios by state, region, and year. The major reasons given for the skewed ratio are sex-selective abortion and female infanticide due to a preference for sons over daughters. This has led to issues like a shortage of brides for men and discrimination against women. Suggestions to improve the ratio include stricter enforcement of laws against sex determination, education programs, and celebrating the birth of girls.
Gender discrimination
Gender discrimination in India has existed for generations due to the culture which promotes practices like dowry, child marriage, and preference for men. This has led to exploitation and killing of women, especially in rural areas. Lack of education and political participation for women along with male-dominated society norms have further promoted discrimination. While laws have been passed to promote equal rights, discrimination continues in many forms such as female feticide, lower literacy and work participation rates for women, and high rates of violence against women. There is a need for change in mindsets and more support for women's empowerment to remove gender inequality in India.

A Discourse on Gender Disparity: A Study on Taluks of Belagavi District
The modern period witnessed the increased gender disparity reflected in sex-ratio, literacy and education, employment and wage-rates and several other socio-cultural and behavioral indicators of empowerment.(Nangia, 2005) Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenges of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance -Kofi Annan (Personal, Archive, Mahanta, & Nayak, 2013). The present paper examines the extent of gender disparity in Belagavi District based on literacy and sex ratio using secondary data. We found that literacy rate in study area was 76.93 % in 2001 which is increased to 82.90 % in 2011 and sex ratio in the study area was 960 in 2001 which is increased to 973 in 2011. There are wide disparities from Rural to Urban sex ratio as well as Rural to Urban literacy rate. The urban sex ratio is higher than rural sex ratio in study area. The Rural sex ratio is 970 and urban sex ratio is 979 females per thousand males in the 2011. We found that in Belagavi district, there is reduction in gender disparities from 2001 to 2011 but the reduction rate is very slow.

The document discusses the rooted problem of gender discrimination and ignorance towards women's empowerment in India. It summarizes that:
1) India remains a male-dominated society where women are often seen as subordinate and inferior, despite some opportunities for women in everyday life, business, and politics.
2) Discrimination against females begins from birth and continues throughout their lives, whether it be in access to healthcare, education, child marriage practices, or other spheres.
3) Overcoming these deep-rooted issues requires recognizing domains of work like capabilities, access to resources and opportunities, and security from violence, as well as leadership, political will, and strategic efforts to change societal mindsets and institutions over
Rooted problem of gender discrimination and immense ignorance
The document discusses various issues related to women empowerment in India, including gender discrimination, female literacy rates, women's health issues, and crimes against women like dowry deaths and rape. It notes that while India has made progress in many areas, gender discrimination persists in many parts of society and mindsets. Female literacy rates and access to healthcare vary greatly between states and regions of India. The document calls for initiatives to improve education for girls, healthcare access for women, and safety measures to protect women from crimes.
Governance and youth 06 12 2020
India has a large youth population that will provide a demographic dividend if properly utilized. Currently, about 66% of India's total population is under the age of 35 years old according to the National Youth Policy. However, unemployment is a major challenge, with only 1 in 3 youth aged 15-24 employed. Literacy rates are improving but remain a concern, especially for females. For India to benefit from its youth, it needs to generate sufficient jobs and opportunities for political participation while also addressing issues like crime and stress among youth. Transforming India's large youth population into leaders requires nurturing their potential through guidance, motivation, and innovative programs.
Sex Discrimination and Low Girl Birth are the Emerging issues of Sex Ratio & ...
This document discusses the declining child sex ratio (CSR) in Andhra Pradesh, India based on census and survey data. Some key points:
- The CSR in Andhra Pradesh has declined sharply from 961 in 2001 to 939 in 2011, indicating a strong preference for sons.
- Factors contributing to the skewed CSR include son preference for social and economic reasons, like inheritance and old age support. This has led to increased sex-selective abortions.
- While the overall sex ratio in Andhra Pradesh and India has improved slightly over time, the CSR has mostly declined since the early 20th century, with a few exceptions like 2001-2011 when government policies aimed to improve the ratio.
Sustainable Development Principle-Gender Equality
This document discusses gender equality as a principle of sustainable development. It begins by defining gender and explaining that gender is a social construct, as there are natural biological differences but society also creates differences in roles and treatment. It then defines gender equality as equal conditions, treatment, and opportunities for women and men to realize their full potential. The document notes that gender equality is one of the 17 sustainable development goals aimed to be achieved by 2030. It provides data on gender ratios, literacy rates, labor force participation rates, and political participation in India to assess progress and gaps in achieving gender equality. It also discusses benefits of gender equality such as better business and economy, reduced poverty, and better health. The document advocates for more girls' education
SEX RATIO
Our concern is with the sex ratio in infancy and childhood, and we use this in order to examine the magnitude and implications
of gender imbalance. More precisely, our focus in this paper is on the sex ratio (defined as the number of males per 100 females) from birth to 6 years of age—we shall refer to it simply as the child sex ratio (CSR). The narrowness of our focus has two advantages. First, whereas the overall population sex ratio is a complex aggregate that depends on many factors, the natural determinants of the child sex ratio are more limited, allowing us a cleaner analysis. Second, it is this ratio that is liable to be affected by selective abortions, whereas the population sex ratio moves only a little with these new developments.

Gender Bias As Correlate of Parenting
Gender Bias As Correlate of ParentingChaudhary Charan singh Haryana Agriculture University, Hisar, Haryana
The document discusses gender discrimination and inequalities faced by women in India. It notes that gender refers to the socio-cultural roles, behaviors and attributes assigned to men and women in a society. In India, women face discrimination from birth, with female infants often seen as a burden. Women and girls are subjected to neglect, unequal treatment and violence throughout their lives. They have lower literacy rates and less access to education and opportunities than men. The document outlines some of the key issues related to gender inequalities in India such as female foeticide, dowry practices, gender-based violence, and disparities in health and nutrition.Gender sensitivity word file
This document provides an overview of gender insensitivity and related issues in India. It discusses how gender norms socialize males and females into traditional roles that establish power imbalances. This leads to discrimination and barriers that increase risks of violence against women. In India specifically, patriarchal norms relegate women to secondary status, affecting their education, finances, health and involvement. Women face issues like child marriage, responsibility for household duties, lower wages, and lack of inheritance rights. The document also discusses gender sensitization programs and occupational inequalities faced by women in areas like the military, property rights, and discrimination in hiring and firing.
Skewed sex ratio in haryana
The document discusses the skewed sex ratio in Haryana, India, which has the lowest child sex ratio in the country according to the latest 2011 census. The sex ratio at birth in Haryana is just 830 females for every 1000 males. This is due to a strong preference for sons over daughters and the practice of sex-selective abortions, despite laws banning them. The declining sex ratio is projected to have serious social consequences, such as increased crime rates and depression as more men remain unmarried. While literacy rates have increased, this has paradoxically contributed to worsening sex ratios as more people now know about sex determination technology. Overall, the child sex ratio has declined dangerously nationwide and interventions to address this problem have
Skewed sex ratio in haryana
The document discusses the skewed sex ratio in Haryana, India, which has declined further according to the latest 2011 census. Haryana has one of the lowest child sex ratios in India at 830 females per 1000 males. Two districts in Haryana, Jhajjar and Mahendragarh, have child sex ratios even lower at 774 and 778 females respectively. While overall sex ratio has improved slightly nationwide, the preference for sons over daughters in Haryana and other states has led to widespread female foeticide resulting in fewer girls. This skewed sex ratio is projected to have serious social consequences if not addressed.

Gender inequality in india
- 1. A Geographical Perspective By Dr C. N. Singkai Assistant Professor Geography AUS, Namsai
- 2. ‘Gender’ is a socio-cultural term referring socially defined roles and behaviors assigned to ‘males’ and ‘females’ in a given society; whereas, the term ‘sex’ is a biological and physiological phenomenon which defines man and woman. In its social, historical and cultural aspects, gender is a function of power relationship between men and women where men are considered superior to women. Therefore, gender may be understood as a man-made concept, while ‘sex’ is natural or biological characteristics of human beings.
- 3. Gender Inequality, in simple words, may be defined as discrimination against women based on their sex. Women are traditionally considered by the society as weaker sex. She has been accorded a subordinate position to men. She is exploited, degraded, violated and discriminated both in our homes and in outside world. This peculiar type of discrimination against women is prevalent everywhere in the world and more so in Indian society.
- 4. LITERACY RATE Female literacy rate (65.46) is lower than the Male literacy rate (82.14). Government has made strict rules for Female equality rights. States which are Economically Developed not Necessary Socially Developed. Some are Economically Developed but Socially Backward Whereas & Vice-Versa.

- 8. The Desire to have a sex is a Biological Instinct Whereas Desire to have a Son is a Social Instinct. Sex Ratio are found Low in Some Developed State. In Most of The Metro Cities Sex Ratio are very Low Due to Stream of Migration from Rural to Urban. Crimes against Women & rape in Cities are mostly Happened due to Very Less Social Development.
- 9. “During 2001- 2011, the share of children to total population has declined and the decline was sharper for female children than male children in the age group 0—6 years,” said the study “Children in India 2012- A Statistical Appraisal” conducted by the Central Statistical Organisation. “Though, the overall sex ratio of the country is showing a trend of improvement, the child sex ratio is showing a declining trend, which is a matter of concern,” the study said
- 10. “Though the child sex ratio in rural India is 919 which is 17 points higher than that of urban India, the decline in Child Sex Ratio (0—6 years) during 2001—2011 in rural areas is more than three times as compared to the drop in urban India which is a matter of grave concern,” it added.
