Women's Role in India

Are Indian women still considered inferior to men? Why is this boy considered a carrier of the family, can that girl avoid? When competing with men, why does not women have equal access to education? As a girl I grew up in India, my mother always remembers being restricted at home. Her duty is to take care of me and my brother, cook for the whole family, and take on all the necessary responsibilities expected in our home. In addition to fulfilling family responsibilities, she could not escape the family for other reasons.

V.S Elizabeth: The role of women in India depends on region, class, caste, religious beliefs. Whether it is educational or professional, there are many opportunities for upper and middle class women. But when you look at low caste or class women, their roles are very different. They have to work very hard, and they may have little freedom to move. When it becomes violence, their experience is the worst. More and more middle class women are now overcoming many obstacles. Many women work in the industrial and service industries. Nonetheless, only 25 - 35% of the labor force is composed of women, 90% of which are not organized and there are few regulations. The other 10% are mainly middle class, very good. Because they are educated, they have a good position.

Indian women accounted for 29% of the working population, decreasing from 35% in 2004. More than half of Indian women's work is unpaid work, almost all work is unofficial and defenseless. In most departments, including business leaders, women are underrated. They account for nearly 40% of the agricultural labor force, but they control only 9% of Indian land. Women are also excluded from the formal financial system. Nearly half of women in India do not have their own bank account or savings account, and 60% of women do not have precious assets by their name. Naturally, in the case of 17%, India's women's contribution to GDP is below the global average of 37%. In addition, women are facing great physical instability. The crime rate for women in India is 53.9%. In the capital Delhi, 92% of women reported having experienced sexual or physical violence in public places.
