Problems And Prospect Of Women Empowerment In India

Prakash Lamani and P. M. Honakeri

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

And the following phrase of Manusmriti, “Na Stree Swathantryam Arhati” (woman is undeserving for independence), reflects our whole attitude towards women in our country. Woman suffers discrimination and injustice in all stages of her life. Declining sex ratio portrays our discrimination shown towards her even at the stage of birth. Often the lame excuse is women are the 'weaker sex'! But biological evidence proves, due to the presence of two X hormones women are more resistant to diseases compared to men. Life expectancy is a proof of this (In our country life expectancy of women is 65 whereas for men it's only 60 years).
