> patriarchy has manifested itself in the social, legal, political, and economic organization of a range of different cultures.

6. DOMESTIC AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE > sexual violence against women—is found across the world and is currently viewed as a hidden epidemic by the World Health Organisation.(9)

>The most common reasons cited for women's suicide are directly related to depression, anxiety, gender disadvantage and anguish related to domestic violence.[10]

> The suicide rate is particularly high among female sex workers in India, who face numerous forms of discrimination for their gender and line of work.[10]

>A woman is raped every 20 minutes in India.(11)

The 8 Millennium

Development Goals::

1Eradicate Extreme Hunger

and Poverty

2Achieve Universal Primary

Education

3Promote Gender Equality

and Empower Women

4Reduce Child Mortality

5Improve Maternal Health

6Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria

and Other Diseases

7Ensure Environmental

Sustainability

8Develop a Global

Partnership for Development

At the Millennium Summit in September 2000

the largest gathering of world leaders in history

adopted the UN Millennium Declaration,

committing their nations to a new global

partnership to reduce extreme poverty and

setting out a series of time-bound targets, with

a deadline of 2015, that have become known as

the Millennium Development Goals.

WHERE WE ARE? Given current trends, India is moderately or

almost nearly on track. However, as the

Government of India MDG Report 2009 notes,

“participation of women in employment and

decision-making remains far less than that of

men, and the disparity is not likely to be

eliminated by 2015.” Achieving GPI in tertiary

education also remains a challenge. In addition,

the labour market openness to women in industry

and services has only marginally increased from

13-18 percent between 1990-91 and 2004-05.

Implement of solutions INNOVATIVE EDUCATION Formation of village-based

groups to promote girls’education, made up of dynamic men and women. Schools must be built ,books secured and teachers trained. Equally important, communities must confront the attitudes and assumptions that prevent girls from attending and excelling in school,

Women should gain new information on human rights, health and nutrition, childcare, food production and business skills so that these can help them in future.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT A simple methodology in which

groups of 50 or so women pool their savings and make the tiniest amounts – pennies per woman per week – grow into important sums. When group members borrow from the pool, they can start or expand small enterprises, from livestock rearing to market trading. Members repay their loans with interest, and the savings grow.

CONT….

Increase in the seats of parliament for

women,so issues relating to women

should be raise in parliament

HEALTH RELATED ISSUES

A medical centres need to be provided with well trained doctors, which only handle only particular districts in it say 5,and which are provided with all basic facilities for women with cheap facilities and medicine and every month a free check up should be mantatory for every women.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND LAWS

A tough laws should be pass for major crimes like rape which has been major issues in country in recent years

Police protection should be provided at nights for women safety

MAJOR PROBLEMS IN

IMPLEMENTION

In every society women struggle against gender norms that limit their resources and opportunities for improvement, and because we know that women’s empowerment is a tremendous resource for social change and a prerequisite in the broader fight against global poverty. But most fundamentally,women are important in their own right. Profound changes arise when we work not only with the most disempowered, but with the people and structures around them that can support or undermine their struggle for a life with dignity.We strive for a world in which a person’s rights, responsibilities, opportunities and dignity are determined not by their status as male or female, but as a human being. SO,MAJOR PROBLEMS IS THE SUPPORT FROM EVERY HUMAN BEINGS IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THEIR RIGHTS THANK YOU……..
