“The Change Starts Here…”!
There are several challenges on the way of women empowerment. Lots of crimes against women in the society are raising the issues of women’s rights in India. To benefit the women empowerment in India, it needs to remove all the issues and challenges faced by women for years. Most common challenges are related to the education, poverty, health and safety of the women. After independence of country, India had to face lots of challenges which had created a big gap between men and women especially in the field of education. The ratio of educated adult men and women is 82.14% and 65.46%. Poverty is another issue of backwardness of women in the society. Poverty can be eradicated by improving the women literacy. Generally women are exploited in the home for domestic helps. If poverty, health, safety, crime and other issues related to women are removed, then we can see the real dream of women empowerment around 20 years later. Swami Vivekananda was a great person who had well said that, “There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved, It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing”.
It is a matter of concern that in today’s prosperous world, there are 168 million children who work as labourers, deprived of not just the joys of childhood but also of the education that is essential for decent life as an adult. As the world advances in terms of information technology and in other ways, literacy becomes more important than ever before. Child labour and the deprivation of education persisted for so long partly because of the native belief that markets, left free, would correct these ills
