WHY WOMEN’S EQUALITY IS IMPORTANT

Gender equality is critical because it will enable women and men to make decisions that impact more positively on their own sexual and reproductive health as well as that of their spouses and families.

GENDER EQUALITY

Gender equality means that women and men should be treated equally or differently. For example, it may imply that women and men should be paid the same for doing the same work or that they should be treated with different medicines and methods in order to make health care equal.

STRUGGLE FOR GENDER JUSTICE

Social, political and economic equality for women is integral to the achievement of all millennium development goals. Humanity dignity is the most supreme attributes of the society. Every human being strives for that dignity to which he or she is entitled to. The constitution of India also provides that every citizen irrespective of their caste/creed/sex/origin should not be deprived of their human dignity. Gender equality is fundamentally related to sustainable development and globally accepted as a necessity for the promotion of individuals based on their gender. It arises from differences in socially constructed gender roles. Status of women is the foundation for the progress of the society and it is very important for human development. In India even today the birth of a girl child is killed even before she is born. A girl child is more neglected in Indian society. Discrimination goes on unabated whether it is in the field of survival, health, education, employment or in other broader perspective of social life.

Gender justice refers to harmonizing of rights and needs of women into mainstream society. Justice in this sense means more balanced behavior, an end to violence and equal distribution of social necessities.

In spite of having so many enactments dealing with women issues yet the rate of women related crimes are high. The discrimination is still so prevalent which is unfavorable for the social environment. Until the mindset of the society changes it is difficult to regulate.
