Gender Norms
Introduction
As human beings, we have assigned ourselves roles in society that typify our different genders. Women have been assigned specific roles within society while the men have been assigned different set of roles as well. + Examples? Whereas this separation of roles between genders may be beneficial and accepted in some instances, it has worked to alienate a particular gender from various spheres of life in general. This paper argues that women have been disadvantaged by these accepted gender norms and as a result, stereotypes that are detrimental to women have been developed, women have been stifled when it comes to certain work industries such as the media and the portrayal of women in different media has as well worked to enhance these detrimental stereotypes (O’Brien, 14). It is important that these negative aspects of norms are considered (addressed and tackled) so that gender equality as envisaged by a majority of the world’s governments is achieved.
Gender norms refer to what society views as the correct male or female behavior. These expected norms of behavior are what would normally lead to the development of different gender roles for the males and females. The gender norms differ from one culture to another. The Middle East for instance is known for having their women solely dedicated to household and family duties, with minimal say in the affairs of government or anything beyond the family life. Women in these parts would as well have limited access to an education. Men in these areas, such as Pakistan for instance, have a greater say in the affairs of the country and in development as opposed to women.
Thesis Statement
Gender norms that have been accepted by society have had a detrimental effect on the females, with women being stereotyped in negative ways, their portrayal in society being negative and their progress in various job industries stifled as a result of these assigned norms.
Gender norms pose gender stereotypes on females, leading the public to view them with biased opinions and preventing them to make progress in their careers.
Discussion
Gender norms lead to the development of gender roles which normally develop in human beings from as early as childhood. This is normally as a result of the interactions we have with our parents, peers and teachers as well. + Evidence. These adults will normally reinforce the gender norms through education or the clothes they buy for their children, the colors they decorate rooms with or the different toys they provide to their children. It is these different roles that will normally lead to the development of stereotypes associated with either gender.
Stereotypes are generalizations and assumptions about what ought to be male or female characteristics. In most instances, these assumptions are inaccurate and hence they tend to have a negative impact. The stereotypes that are associated with women have worked to affect their progress in various s ...
This document discusses women empowerment in industry in India. It provides historical context about the roles and status of women in 18th century India, noting they faced difficult work and societal expectations like early marriage. It then outlines improvements in women's status and representation in modern India, with women now holding high political offices. The document also discusses concepts like gender roles, discrimination, and patriarchy which have historically oppressed women in India.
The document argues that women still face wage discrimination and a gender pay gap in the workplace. It provides statistics showing that women on average earn less than men, even when controlling for factors like experience and education. The document calls on the government to take concrete steps to achieve equal pay and close the gender wage gap, as paying women less than men for the same work violates women's rights and equality.
Toxic masculinity refers to harmful ideals about manhood that can negatively impact boys' development. These ideals promote aggression, violence, dominance and suppression of emotion. When taken to an extreme, toxic masculinity can lead to anger issues, depression and violence as boys feel pressure to conform to stereotypes. Breaking this cycle is important to promote healthy development for all children.
Dance should be recognized as a sport. Like other sports, dance improves physical abilities such as memory, balance, and coordination. It also provides mental benefits by allowing dancers to focus their mind and escape from stress. Dancing requires skills and techniques that must be learned and practiced. It is also a competitive activity where dancers compete against each other following set rules. While some see dance as an art form, it has the same physical and competitive qualities as sports. Dancing improves the body and mind in similar ways as other athletic activities and should therefore be considered a sport.
Here is a 3 paragraph, 453-word essay analyzing the themes of family, fear, and growth in Finding Nemo:
Finding Nemo is a beloved Pixar film that explores powerful themes of family, fear, and personal growth. At its core, the movie is about a father's love for his son and their journey to be reunited.
Marlin is an overly cautious clownfish who lost his wife in a shark attack, leaving him as the sole parent to his son Nemo. The trauma of this event caused Marlin to develop debilitating anxiety and fear of the ocean. He is terrified of anything happening to Nemo and becomes suffocatingly overprotective. His fear holds N
The French Revolution was influenced by Enlightenment ideas which encouraged questioning authority and comparing citizens' needs to the Republic's needs. This led to an uprising among common people wanting more equality and rights. The Revolution brought many casualties and different forms of government until Napoleon established an authoritarian republic. Enlightenment ideas of equality and rights of man were incorporated into revolutionary documents and reforms.
This document discusses whether the Olympic Games are a waste of money. It notes that hosting the Games requires huge costs, with the Montreal Games costing $1.48 billion and the London Games costing $14.6 billion. It examines where hosting countries get the money from, who benefits, and the impact on the host country. While the Games provide economic benefits through infrastructure improvements, tourism boosts, and publicity, some argue the costs outweigh these benefits and that the money could be better spent elsewhere.

Media bias is a problem that people are often not aware of. We see bias in news, TV shows, and newspapers, yet we often don't recognize it. Media bias shapes the impressions we form about people and issues. The media can propagate stereotypes through the stories and portrayals they choose. While media organizations claim to be unbiased, their choices about what to report and how to report it can influence the public's views.
The document discusses Oedipus from Sophocles' play Oedipus the King as an archetypal tragic hero. It notes that the play opens with a plague threatening Thebes, which Oedipus vows to address as king. Oedipus exhibits hubris or pride, which contributes to his downfall. As his situation worsens through the play, Oedipus undergoes character changes that depict the tragic hero archetype outlined in Aristotle's definition.
This document discusses the pros and cons of inclusion, which is the mainstreaming of disabled students into regular classrooms. It notes that inclusion became mandated by law in the US in 1975. Among the pros listed are social and emotional benefits for both special needs and general education students. However, the cons discussed include a lack of training for general education teachers and lack of resources, which can disrupt learning for all students. The document also examines arguments against inclusion and for providing a continuum of services and placements tailored to individual student needs.
The document discusses the death penalty versus life in prison as potential punishments for crimes. It notes that the death penalty may deter crime and provide relief to victims' families, while life imprisonment is cheaper and avoids the risk of executing innocent people. The document also examines arguments around whether life imprisonment or the death penalty is a more humane punishment.
Effective leadership is crucial at both personal and organizational levels. At a personal level, leadership helps determine goals and achieve success. At an organizational level, leadership is important for decision-making, implementation, and accomplishing goals. Good leadership involves creating a vision, motivating followers, and implementing decisions successfully. Leaders influence groups to work towards common objectives. Different leadership styles exist, but effective leaders inspire trust, demonstrate commitment, and act with integrity.
This essay discusses the importance of respect and how it can impact self-esteem. Respect, or the lack thereof, from important people in one's life such as friends, mentors, or teachers can significantly influence how we feel about ourselves. The essay describes an experience where a teacher who had previously encouraged the author abruptly dismissed their response in a way that damaged their self-esteem. This experience taught the author about the power that respect, or disrespect, from others can have.
Virtue ethics focuses on developing good character and moral virtues rather than rules or consequences. This essay discusses virtue ethics and how developing the virtue of patience is important for overcoming obstacles in life. The author has chosen to work on being more patient, as it is a virtue that can help deal with challenges of the present day, such as peer pressure. According to Aristotle, every virtue has a vice of excess or deficit, and patience falls in between the extremes of indifference and irritability. The author's dog helps remind them to remain patient in the mornings.
The document discusses definitions of poverty and approaches to defining and measuring it. It notes that a clear definition supports measurement and determining development approaches. It then examines Oxfam Australia's Close the Gap campaign, which aims to close the life expectancy gap between Aboriginal Australians and non-Aboriginal Australians within a generation. The campaign takes a human rights approach, viewing poverty as an exclusion from fundamental freedoms and rights. Health is included as a dimension of poverty, as both a cause and result of human rights abuses.
The passage discusses shared inquiry discussions as a method of learning. It involves interpretive questions from the leader to guide discussion and encourage different interpretations supported by evidence from the text. There are three types of questions: interpretive, factual, and evaluative. Interpretive questions are the main tool for discussion and should have more than one possible answer. Factual questions provide objective context while evaluative questions ask participants to make judgements based on interpretations and their own experience. The leader challenges unclear or inaccurate statements and ensures the discussion remains focused on the text.
The document discusses festivals celebrated by the author's Nepalese family, focusing on Tihar as their favorite. During Tihar, the family makes special meals like chini roti (rice soaked in sugar and ghee), Nepali authentic meals (dal, bhat, masu), and sel roti (rice soaked in sugar, ghee, soda and milk). These festivals are like Christmas and Thanksgiving and allow the whole family to gather and celebrate together. While food is an important part of the rituals, children play with firecrackers and kites while elders play cards or drink games. Unfortunately, the author was unable to celebrate with their family this year.
Poverty is a complex issue with no single agreed upon definition. While definitions aim to set boundaries, they are also limited and subject to criticism. Traditionally, poverty was defined by a single dimension like income or consumption, but modern definitions take a multidimensional approach considering factors like health, education and standard of living. Amartya Sen's capability approach is influential, defining poverty not just as lack of income but lack of ability to live a minimally good life. Overall, accurately defining and measuring poverty remains an ongoing debate with important implications for policymaking.
The document discusses bullying in schools. It begins by stating that bullying affects millions of students globally each year. While some schools overlook bullying, many now strictly punish even minor bullying. However, bullying often begins at home, so parents must teach their children to be kind. Bullying has increased with social media and technology. It is the responsibility of both parents and schools to stop bullying and prevent it from getting worse. There are ways for schools to reduce bullying, such as consequences for bullies, talking to their parents, and increased supervision of students. However, the first step is for bullied children to report incidents, but they must feel safe and comfortable doing so.
Funding for Non-Profit Organizations face many challenges obtaining funds. Most discussions focus on sourcing funds, as lack of funding creates difficulties paying expenses and meeting societal expectations. Small NPOs have greater financial problems than large ones, as funders are wary of mismanagement risks with small organizations. Funding problems worsen as small NPOs must compete with large organizations for limited funding.
Reality television has become very popular, but it also raises ethical concerns about how it portrays and influences people. While reality shows claim to authentically depict real life, they often manipulate situations and edit footage to craft compelling narratives and reinforce stereotypes. This can negatively impact viewers' perceptions of gender, race, and social issues. While reality television is meant for entertainment, it is important to recognize how its depictions of reality are constructed for profit rather than being truly authentic representations of real world experiences and interactions.
Protein synthesis involves two main steps - transcription and translation. Transcription occurs in the nucleus and involves RNA polymerase making an mRNA copy of a gene from a DNA template. Translation takes place in the cytoplasm and involves a ribosome using the mRNA to assemble a polypeptide chain according to the genetic code. Errors during protein synthesis can disrupt the process or cause failure. Understanding the basics of DNA, RNA and proteins is necessary to comprehend how genes are expressed.
The document provides information about the Spanish monarchy and some important kings in Spanish history. It discusses how the monarchy has influenced Spain for many centuries and how the specific titles of Spanish kings were important to culture. Some notable kings mentioned include Sancho III the Older, who united parts of northern Spain under his rule in the 11th century. The long and complex titles used by Spanish monarchs referenced the territories they ruled over or claimed rights to.
The document discusses the insanity defense and its various forms. It begins by stating that the insanity defense has developed into an understandable but challenging defense system. It then discusses the two main requirements for criminal charges - mens rea (guilty mind) and actus reus (guilty act). The insanity defense is based on the idea that certain mental illnesses can impair one's ability to form mens rea. It goes on to describe the four main forms of the insanity defense: M'Naghten, irresistible impulse, substantial capacity, and Durham.
The document discusses the Progressive Movement that occurred in the early 1900s in the United States. It challenged traditional education ideals and was influenced by thinkers like John Dewey. The movement promoted experimentalism and less authoritarianism in schools. It emphasized teaching subjects that interested students rather than a standardized curriculum. By the early 1940s, concerns over basic skills and discipline rose and the Progressive Movement lost influence over school practice.
The document discusses the importance of leadership development in the military to accomplish its mission and strategic goals. It states that people desire quality leadership to help achieve both personal and professional development, and that having a clear vision and motivation influences others to work together towards organizational goals. Additionally, the document notes that employees value being treated respectfully, fairly and ethically.
Living in a multicultural society takes time to adjust to. In the UK, immigration over the centuries from places like Poland, India and other parts of Europe and the world has increased cultural diversity. However, full integration of different ethnic and religious groups has been a challenge. While schools have made efforts to accommodate different cultures, things like faith-based schools can sometimes promote segregation rather than mixing of groups. Overall, a multicultural society in the UK is still a work in progress that requires time, effort and policies to help various cultures comfortably coexist.

Another setting where there have been claims of gender discrimination is banking; for example if one is refused credit or is offered unequal loan terms
based on one's gender.
Another setting where there is usually gender discrimination is when one is refused to extend their credit, refused approval of credit/loan process,
and if there is a burden of unequal loan terms based on one's gender. Socially, sexual differences have been used to justify different roles for men and
women, in some cases giving rise to claims of primary and secondary roles.
While there are alleged non–physical differences between men and women, major reviews of the academic literature on gender difference find only a
tiny minority of characteristics where there are consistent psychological differences between men and women, and these relate directly to experiences

perceptions and reactions which may relate to hormones and the successful characteristics of each gender during longstanding roles in past primitive
lifestyles. Unfair discrimination usually follows the gender stereotyping held by a society.
The United Nations had concluded that women often experience a "glass ceiling" and that there are no societies in which women enjoy the same
opportunities as men. The term "glass ceiling" is used to describe a perceived barrier

Unpaid domestic work – from food preparation to care giving – directly affects the health and overall well being and quality of life of children and
other household members. The need for women's unpaid labour often increases with economic shocks, such as those associated with the AIDS
pandemic or economic restructuring. Yet women's voices and lived experiences– whether as workers (paid and unpaid), citizens, or consumers – are
still largely missing from debates on finance and development. Poor women do more unpaid work, work longer hours and may accept degrading
working conditions during times of crisis, just to ensure that their families survive. Intergenerational gender gaps: The differences in the work patterns
of men and women, and the 'invisibility' of work that is not included in national accounts, lead to lower entitlements to women than to men. Women's
lower access to resources and the lack of attention to gender in macroeconomic policy adds to the inequity, which, in turn, perpetuates gender gaps.
For example, when girls reach adolescence they are typically expected to spend more time in household activities, while boys spend more time on
farming or wage work. By the time girls and boys become adults; females generally work longer hours than males, have less experience in the labour
force, earn less income and have less leisure, recreation or rest time. This has implications for investments in the next generation. If

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT AND SELF HELP GROUPS
Introduction
Women and children, who represent more than two–thirds (67.7%) of the country's total population, constitute the most important target group in the
context of the present day developmental planning. Therefore their concerns are placed on the priority list of the country's developmental agenda.
For more than a decade' the term 'empowerment' has been widely used in relation to women as well as marginalized community in India, Today one
hears this term much more often than terms like women's welfare, upliftment,development are awareness rising...show more content...
In order to empower the rural poor especially the women, female workers must first empower themselves.Batilwala has identified three approaches to
women's empowerment :the integrated development approach, which focused on women's survival and livelihood needs; the economic development
approach, which aimed to women's economic position; and the consciousness approach, which organized women into collectives that address the
source of oppression.
The consciousness raising approach asserts that women's empowerment requires awareness of the complex factors causing women's subordination.
This approach organized women into collectives that tackle the sources of subordination (ASTHA, Deccan Development Society, Mahila Samakhya,
WOP in India, and Nigera Kori in Bangladesh).
5. The Female empowerment approach stresses the capacity of women to increase their self reliance and internal strength. The empowerment approach to
women's advancement in developing countries recognizes that the patriarchal structure of subordination must be addressed through women's
organizations at the grass– root level. Such local groups can facilitate bottom up change by providing a social mechanism to raise women's
consciousness about their subordination.
Broad categories of Empowerment

Women in Sports
In the last one hundred years women have made tremendous inroads in many facets of life. Of that there can be little doubt. Women may now hold
jobs, own property and participate in professional sports. Today women can compete in sports, once a vestige of male domination; there is now room
for women in that arena. But even today women in sports are not portrayed in the same light as their male counterparts. To a large degree this is
because of today's cultural ideal of women.
Since the beginning of this century women like Babe Didrickson and Billy Jean King have brought female athletes into mainstream acceptance. In
earlier times women had not only not been encouraged to be physical it was thought to be harmful for...show more content...
During this century women have been able to break out of the traditional female mold. Women have broken the chains that bond them to the home and
have emerged into all sorts of male dominated arenas, including sports. Women have become athletes in theirown right. In the last ten years there has
been validation for the female athlete. The WNBA was created giving women a professional league in a mainstream traditionally male sport for the
first time since the All American Girls ProfessionalBaseball League went out of existence in the 1950s. And recently a woman made the cut and
participated on the professional golf circuit with the men. Today, we see women athletes in the media regularly. Women's college basketball is given
airtime on weekends just as men's is.
But even today women athletes are not on equal footing with men. Women are not permitted to be masculine, they can be athletes but they need to
keep their femininity intact. Even a great athlete like Babe Didrickson was forced to change her image to suit our culture's sense of what a woman
should be. And while a women may be given endorsements she is expected to look a certain way we she does them. She may sweat on the field or the
court but not on camera.
Some women athletes are still not accepted. Women who body–build are not given the same respect as men who do. While many

7. Women Empowerment : The Lowland By Jhumpa Lahiri
Women empowerment reflected in Indian Diaspora novel The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri.
Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze the reflection of the women empowerment in the Indian Diaspora novel The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri.
It is rightly said by Alfred North Whitehead– "It is in literature that the concrete outlook of humanity receives its expression." Literature is not only a
reflection of the society but also serves as a corrective mirror in which members of the society can look at themselves and find the need for positive
change. It is necessary to take a close look at some works of literature, in order to understand how literature actually reflects the society. Literature as
a whole grows and changes from generation to generation. It is not static but dynamic. It means that each age has its own particular point of interest
and its own particular way of thinking and feeling about things. So the literature which it produces is governed by certain prevailing tastes. These
tastes last for a time only. The influence of literature on society is felt directly or indirectly. Women Empowerment is a burning issue of this modern
age. So, an effort is done in this paper to reflect the traditional roles which women, especially, Indian women are expected to follow and the role which
the women choose in context to a novel the Lowland.

Most men view themselves as being the superior life–form in society. They justify this belief by saying that they are stronger and more capable; thus,
making them more qualified for the important roles in society. They place themselves on pedestals and force women to believe in their own inferiority
to men and their incapability to excel educationally, politically, economically, and domestically. But the truth is that women will eventually advance in
all these areas and come to realize that they do not need men to survive. John Steinbeck, in his short story "The Chrysanthemums" depicts the trials of a
woman attempting to gain power in a man's world. Elisa Allen tries to define the boundaries of her role as a woman in such a...show more content...
From the time of the women's movement, women have proven to society that they are just as capable and qualify for the same roles that men
perform. Since they have been given more educational opportunities, they have also proven that they are just as competent by accomplishing the
same educational level as men. They also proved that they are capable of performing the same kinds of work that men have traditionally done.
They have forced society to modify job titles (formally known to be only men jobs) to acknowledge the women who have gone into these fields:
from fireman to firefighter; mailman to mail deliverer; policeman to police officer; and etc. Due to these new opportunities that have been made
possible to women, more and more of them are joining the workforce each year. According to America Today, about 55% of the people who enter the
workforce each year are female. At this rate, women will eventually dominate the work force; thus, dominating the economic system. Gaining this
financial independent will allow women to surpass in other areas of society, which is also give them more political influence. The government
positions currently being held by women in the White House and state capitals all over the United States prove that this is true. It is also
comprehensible that women will eventually be able to take on the role of presidency as they have other government positions. It is only

Women constitute around half of the total world population. So is in India also. They are therefore, regarded as the better half of the society. In
traditional societies they were confined to the four walls of houses performing house hold activities. In modern society they have come out of the four

Indian women and yet to face a tremendous change to increase the rate of growth in entrepreneurship.
b)Socio–cultural barriers – Women's family and personal obligations are sometimes a great barrier for succeeding in business career. Only few women
are able to manage both home and business efficiently, devoting enough time to perform all their responsibilities in priority
c)Market–oriented risks – Stiff competition in the market and lack of mobility of women make the dependence of women entrepreneurs on middleman
indispensable. They are not fully aware of the changing market conditions and hence can effectively utilize the services of media and internet.
d)Knowledge in Business Administration – Women must be educated and trained constantly to acquire the skills and knowledge in all the functional
areas of business management. This can facilitate women to excel in decision making process and develop a good business network
e)Awareness about the financial assistance – Various institutions in the financial sector extend their maximum support in the form of incentives, loans,
schemes etc. Even then every woman entrepreneur may not be aware of all the assistance provided by the institutions.

The best example of this is Indira Gandhi who served as the Prime Minister of India for 15 years of her life. She is known for being the world's longest

Despite having so many laws about the women rights in India. There are still women suffering from inequality in certain parts of the country.
Today, India ranks 101 out of 134 countries on the gender inequality index. Many women are forced to suicide because of the inequality factors
such as dowry, rape, sex selective abortion, acid throwing, trafficking and domestic violence. A shocking gang rape incident took place with 23 years
old medicine students on a public transport in New Delhi on the 16th of December 2012. This incident became very popular across the nation and
was widely protested by many people in the country. Rape statistics are very high in India, it is recorded that 1 female is sexually harassed every
minutes in India. Sexual harassment has a high impact on the mental stability of a woman which leads them to suicide.
In the modern day society equal access to property and land ownership is one of the most disputed issues with regards to gender inequality. Today
women in India are often excluded from getting a share in the family's property because of the gender discrimination. In the Indian society, only men of
the family have the right of inheritance. This is because daughter. There are

It has been estimated that there are some 11.2 million abortions per year, of which 6.7 million are induced. In rural areas there are 3 illegal abortions
for every legal one, and in urban locations that number can be as high as 5. The large number of abortions is reflected in the ratio of girl children to
boy children. Although the national girl–boy ratio is 927:1000, it can be as low as 796:1000 in some states.
People commonly ask what someone's stance on abortion is. In itself the question is hard to address. There are always so many different situations
that need to be taken into account and it is not a very pleasant topic to begin with. It is not as if anyone is ever going to answer with great
conviction, "Yes, I am for it. I like it and I think that it is a great thing for society and a proper method of birth control." Instead, the views usually
range from, "Well, I don't like the idea of it, but I can sympathize with patients who turn to it and find it perfectly acceptable," to, "NO! It is wrong
and there are no exceptions!" I have always considered myself to be on the pro–choice side of the argument with the opinion that every woman has the
right to do what she wants to her body. But in this special situation I feel infuriated

18. Gender Inequality And Womens And Empowerment
In world history, gender inequality and women's and empowerment have been an ongoing battle of victories and setbacks, especially for women.
Women are disproportionately affected by gender inequality; they are often looked at with pity or a need to be protected from the outside world.
This desire to protect women has evolved into a culture of restriction, when it comes to what women can and cannot do in their day to day lives. The
Middle East is especially susceptible to devaluing women in society. The states that operate within this grouping are dominated by patriarchal societies
that raise men and their standards above those of women. In Iran women have a difficult time making a name for themselves and are often left feeling
very helpless and alone. Sometimes women have to fight just to be heard and are often silenced by the government in an attempt to level the playing
field between the sexes. Ironically, in Bahrain the government appears to be in favor of women and establishing them as equals with their male
counterparts. Yet, once inside of the country, it does not take long to realize this is not necessarily the case. It goes to show that just having laws in
place that "protect" women is not enough to make a society shift their sexist views towards women in general. It takes an entire state changing their
personal views in order to bring about large change in the area of gender equality and women's empowerment. This battle takes not just women

As the rise of intelligence in women takes place at work, the interest and effort of men also accelerates where to an extent, common patterns of gender
bias is encountered in the work environment.
Similarly, the benefits of women empowerment also touches every aspect and facet of society. The initiative and the will to empower women gives
both the privileged and the unfortunate the motivation to make a difference in ones social, economical and political structure of a nation. Sen and
Grown (1985) points out that in order for reductions in external aid and resources may be compensated, this requires the participation of both men and
women. Contrary to this point, some countries do not accommodate enforcement and implications on gender equality, certain efforts and rights have
been put in the dim by social dictates, where the existing laws for gender equality are often disregarded when applied to women. Pakistan and India
are two glaring examples of this. The suffering of women and the denial of their rights go hand in hand with the instability of nations, Clinton said.
(Empowering Women Benefits All, 2012). Therefore, it is just and right to remove discriminating laws and empower women to the highest degree as
much as economic and social proficiency is concerned.
Furthermore, empowering women can uplift the spirit and put to practice whatever talent a women has in her. Some people just need continuous

Women's empowerment is vital to sustainable development and the realization of human rights for all. Where women's status is low, family size tends
to be large, which makes it more difficult for families to thrive. Population and development and reproductive health programmes are more effective
when they address the educational opportunities, status and empowerment of women. When women are empowered, whole families benefit, and these
benefits often have ripple effects to future generations. The roles that men and women play in society are not biologically determined – they are
socially determined, changing and changeable. Although they may be justified as being required by culture or religion, these roles vary widely by
locality and change over time. Key issues and linkages: 1)Reproductive health: Women, for both physiological and social reasons, are more vulnerable
than men to reproductive health problems. Reproductive health problems, including maternal mortality and morbidity, represent a major – but
preventable – cause of death and disability for women in developing countries. Failure to provide information, services and conditions to help women
protect their reproduction health therefore constitutes gender–based discrimination and a violation of women's rights to health and life. 2)

The fact that IT sector in the country has increased at an incredible rate of 35% per year for the last 10 years reinforces the view that India is world class
in IT. The contribution of IT sector to national GDP will be around 8.5% during the year 2010–2011. The IT sector revenue is expected to increase
from Rs 1276 billion in 2004–2005 to Rs 6435 billion in 2011. Availability and adequate supply of skilled and knowledgeable workforce and the
quality of infrastructure is critical for the growth of IT in India. The IT sector is one of the largest employers of women, and therefore, can play a
crucial role in women empowerment and the reduction of gender inequalities. As per NASSCOM (2010) estimates, women comprise 30–35% of the
entire workforce in the IT sector. The number of software professionals has been growing continuously over the years. There is 60% increase in the
number of women employees working in the Indian IT sector from 2006–2008 of the entire workforce of 400 million working in the IT sector, 30–35%
