PLACE OF WOMEN IN SOCIETY

 

Place of women in society

Women form about one half of the total population of the world. Thus, they have every right to enjoy equal right and duties with men. 

It is, however, unfortunate that women have been neglected during the ages,  particularly since the middle ages when they were pushed behind the four walls of the house and were forbidden to undertake any work which required callibre,enterprise and responsibility. They were considered weak, frail and inferior. 

Women have now got the right to vote. They have equal fundamental right and duties with men. They are considered fit to be selected to most of the jobs. Now, we have women officers, judges, teachers, doctors, pilots etc... In fact, they are there in every  field including sports, film industry, publishing industry etc... 

Modern women, especially high in society, are generally high educated. But the condition of women in lower society, particularly in rural and slum areas is still far from satisfactory.These women are still steeped in ignorance, illiteracy and superstition. 

Crimes against women such as rapes,murders,exploitation etc.. are increasing these days in spite of national commission for women and so many other bodies to look after the welfare of women. Day in and day out, we have so many dowry death. It is the need of the hour that more attention should be paid to women's welfare and uplift.
