Women Empowerment : Reservation with ProtectionApurv Londhe
Women Needs to be empowered to make there situation better . The answer is education , employment and ecourage them in social activities . Only reservation won't empower women's situation in India But rather it is a best way to contribute for the empowerment of India . According to me women could be empowered through three ways - 1. Education 2. Employment - i.e Economic Empowerment 3. Sociall Empowerment !!
But being seen the will of our polititian for Reservation in Loksabha , The Bill is still pending is the saddest thing . The President of INC - is a Women , Hon' Speaker of Loksabha is a Women and also Opposition Leader of Loksabha is a WOmen Still and still womens situation in India is not too good , and still the bill is pending .!!!
I am not saying that the bill is only solution put I am damn sure that bill is part of solution !! If womens are led to be the part of the system they could change them and could make other women empower ,
This is what Empowering Women by Women i.e what Empowering Women Empowering India !!!

Women's empowerment has become a significant topic of discussion in development and economics. It can also point to approaches regarding other trivialized genders in a particular political or social context. Women's economic empowerment refers to the ability for women to enjoy their rights to control and benefit from resources, assets, income and their own time, as well as the ability to manage risk and improve their economic status and well being. While often interchangeably used, the more comprehensive concept of gender empowerment refers to people of any gender, stressing the distinction between biological sex and gender as a role. It thereby also refers to other marginalized genders in a particular political or social context.

2. “You can tell the state of a nation by looking at
the condition of the women there.”
• According to Indian
constitution, Women are legal
citizens of the country and
have equal rights with
men.(e.g right to equality, no
discrimination by the states,
equality of opportunity, equal
pay for equal work etc.)
• But because of lack of
acceptance from the male
dominating society, Indian
women suffer immensely.
• Women are responsible for
baring children, yet they are
malnourished and in poor
health.
• In India, rape, sexual
harassment and abuse of
women are common
occurrences that go unspoken
due to social stigma or fear of
retribution.

3. • What is Women
Empowerment
• Why it is needed
To establish high level corporate leadership
for gender equality.
To treat all women & men fairly at work.
Respect and support human rights and
nondiscrimination.
To promote education, training and
professional development for women.
To ensure the health, safety and well being
of all women & men workers.
To implement enterprise development,
supply chain and marketing practices that
empower women.
To promote equality through community
initiatives and advocacy.
To measure and publically report on
progress to achieve gender equality.
The couple of word Women-
Empowerment may be defined as a
multidimensional social process that
helps women in gaining control over
their own lives.
It fosters capacity in them, for use in
their own lives, their communities, and
in their society by acting on issues that
they define as important.
It comprises of 5 components:
Women’s sense
of self worth.
Their rights to
have & to
determine
choices
Their rights to
have power to
control their
own lives
Their ability to
influence the
direction of
social change
Their rights to
have access to
opportunities .
“There is no tool for development more
effective than the empowerment of women.”

5. Operational framework of Gender Equality with three
dimensions
The Capabilities Domain
It refers to basic human
abilities as measured by
education, health and
nutrition. These
capabilities are
fundamental to
individual well being
and are the means
through which
individuals access other
forms of well being.
It refers primarily to
equality in the
opportunity to use or
apply basic capabilities
through access to
economic assets(such
as land or housing) and
resources(such as
income & employment)
as well as political
opportunities.
The access to Resources &
opportunities Domain
The Security Domain
It is defined to mean
reduced vulnerability to
violence and conflict
that result in physical
and psychological harm
and lessen the ability of
individuals, households
and communities to
fulfill their potential.
Violence directly
specifically at women &
girls often aims at
keeping them at their
place ‘through fear’.
The attainment of capabilities increases the likelihood that women can access opportunities for
employment or participate in political and legislative bodies.
• Access to opportunities decreases the likelihood that women will experience violence.(although in
certain circumstances, it may temporarily increase that likelihood).
Progress in any one domain to the exclusion of the others will be insufficient to meet the goal of Gender
Equality.
• And to exercise agency to use their rights and opportunities, Women must live without the fear of
coercion and violence.
6. Stakeholders
involved
Making it happen
The practical actions and key essentials that can be
taken with each strategic priority to bring about gender
equality and empower women. The framework provides a
powerful legal mechanism
enabling stakeholders at
the country level to hold
the government
accountable for meeting
goals.
NGO’s such as women’s
organizations and other
civil society organizations
have taken the lead in
holding government &
international agencies
accountable for
implementing their
commitments to gender
equality & women
empowerment.
Political commitment by and mobilization of large
group of change agents at different levels within
country who seek to implement the vision of the
world.
Technical expertise and knowledge of how to
mainstream gender into development policies and
programs.
Institutional structures and processes to support
the transformation, including structures that enable
women to successfully claim their rights.
The allocation of adequate financial resources for
direct interventions by governmental and non-governmental
organizations in the strategies.
Accountability and monitoring systems need to be in
place within country to ensure that fundamental
change is broad based and lasting.
7. Total Funding required • Fund Management
For the strategies expenditure should be
categorized in 3 categories.
An accurate cost analysis is the first step in
efforts to mobilize the financial resources
needed to implement the various
interventions and policy measures are:
The cost of universal primary and
expanded secondary education would
be roughly Rs.1500 per capita on
average annually.
Cost of setting up a primary health care
system(for child & maternal health,
sexual & reproductive health) would
average roughly Rs.2000 per capita
annually.
Cost of water & sanitation provision
would average roughly Rs.700 per capita
annually.
Preliminary estimates suggest that the
addition cost of gender specific
intervention to meet goals will average
approximately Rs.100 per capita
annually with costs peaking at Rs.150 in
2015.
Public expenditure can be clustered in terms
of four categories
Protective
& welfare
services
accounting
for 67%
Social
service
education,
water,
housing,
health 26%
Economic
resources-self
employmen
t training
fuel supply
manageme
nt 4%
Regulatory
services-awareness
generation
NCW 3%
Specifically
targeted
expenditure on
women
Pro woman
allocation-composite
expenditure at
least 30%
Mainstream
expenditure with
gender deferential
impact
8. Existing Government Schemes and
Policies
Besides these Government
policies, NGO’s are playing a
significant role in the
empowerment of
disadvantageous women.
Govt. have set up the Central
Social Welfare Board(CSWB), an
apex body of the voluntary
sector that aids more than
10,000 NGO’s across the country,
helping women stand on their
own through such programmes
as socio-economic programme,
vocational training and other
similar programmes.
Some of the NGO’s that are
working to uplift the status of
women are:
Nanhi Kali (for the girl child)
Sarojini Rehabilitation Centre for
Women
Ujjawala programme
Sanjeevini Rehabilitation
The establishment of the National Commission for
Women (NCW)
Rashtriya Mahila Kosh (RMK)
Balika Samriddhi Yojna (BSY)
Rural Women’s Development & Empowerment
Project (RWDEP)
Indira Mahila Yojna (IMY)
Reproductive & Child Health Scheme (RCH)
Adolescent Girls Scheme
Working Women’s Hostel Scheme
Support to Training & Employment Programme
for Women (STEP)
Stree Shakti Puraskar
Education & Training support
The National Policy for Empowerment of women
Convention on the elimination of all forms of
discrimination against women (CEDAW)
Rajiv Gandhi Scheme for Empowerment of
Adolescent Girls
A National Resource center for Women
9. Criteria to measure the impact of the solution
Proposed indicators for tracking progress
Education
• The ratio of female to male gross enrollment rates in primary, secondary, & tertiary education.
• The ratio of female to male completion rates in primary, secondary & tertiary education.
Sexual and Reproductive health & rights
• Proportion of contraceptive demand satisfied.
• Adolescent fertility rate.
Infrastructure
• Hours per day (or year) women & men spend fetching water and collecting fuel.
Property rights
• Land ownership by male, female or jointly held.
• Housing title, disagregated by male, female or jointly held
Employment
• Share of women in employment, both wage & self-employment, by type.
• Gender gaps in earnings in wage and self-employed.
Participation in National parliaments & local Government bodies
• Percentage of seats held by women in National parliament.
• Percentage of seats held by women in local government bodies.
Violence against women
• Prevalence of domestic violence
10. The rule of law means little to most women & girls: Access to
justice demands knowledge, literacy, money & time.
• Appropriate Monitoring
Mechanism
Country statistical agencies
need an infusion of resources
to strengthen their capacity &
efforts to do all that is
necessary to collect and
prepare sex-disaggregated
data.
Work at the country level also
requires technical support
from key international
statistical agencies to develop
methodological guidelines
and undertake new data
collection efforts.
• Scalability & Sustainability
of solution
It includes gender specific interventions in
agriculture, education, health, nutrition,
rural development, urban development,
water & sanitation, environment, trade,
science & technology.
These strategies are included in the needs
assessment for specific sectors-
Post primary education for girls has been
costed as part of the education needs
assessment methodology.
The provision of sexual & reproductive
health services has been costed within
the wealth sector needs assessment
methodology.
Infrastructure to reduce women’s time
burdens has been costed as part of the
infrastructure needs assessment
methodology.
11. Challenges of the women empowerment
Maternal Morality: India accounts for more than 25% of all maternal deaths in
Legal empowerment strategies can help create a culture of justice among
women and ensure that principles of equality are translated into practice.
“Let us give them wings to fly high. Let her be happy, so that she can give
her best to family, society and nation.”
the world.
Malnourishment: More than 80% of pregnant Indian women are found to be
anemic. This results in high rates of child malnutrition.
Lack of girl education: only 39% of Indian women attend primary school.
Female Infanticide: India loses around 3 million girls in infanticide per year.
Dowry Deaths: NCRB statics show that 91,202 dowry deaths were reported in
country from Jan 1 ,2001 to Dec 31,2012.
Trafficking: Forcing girls in to prostitution, forced labor or services, slavery or
practices similar to slavery & trade in human organs.
Ways to meet
challenges
Health :Basin sanitation facilities, adequate medical camps, govt.
health schemes would be conducive to bring about a major change.
Education: It is one of the most important means of empowering
women with knowledge, skills & self confidence necessary to
participate fully in the development process.
