Book excerpt: The extent of empowerment of women in a nation is largely determined by three factors - economic, social, and political identity. India's Tenth Five Year Plan (2002-07) called for a three-pronged strategy of social empowerment, economic empowerment, and providing gender justice to create a positive environment of economic, and social policies for women, and eliminating all forms of discrimination against them. The government of India has initiated various schemes spread across a broad spectrum, such as women's need for shelter, security, safety, legal aid, justice, information, maternal health, food, nutrition etc., as well as their need for economic sustenance through skill development, education, and access to credit and marketing. In order to address the phenomenon of domestic violence, which is widely prevalent but remains largely invisible in the public domain, the Protection from Domestic Violence Act, 2006 was enacted by the Indian Parliament. This collection of 35 papers examines various areas of interest including socio-economic status, women entrepreneurship, women in politics, role of information and communication technology in empowering women, and domestic violence.

Download or read book Panchayati Raj and Women Empowerment written by Nupur Tiwari and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Panchayats are local governments mandated in the Constitution of India. As per the Constitution, a three-tier structure of panchayats is in place across the country, excepting areas where Part IX of the Constitution does not apply. Panchayats are to be instituted, through elections every five years, except in States with a population of less than 20 lakh, where panchayats at two tiers may be created. The Constitution recognizes the gram sabha, i.e. all the electors in a village panchayat. The Constitution provides that seats and offices of chairpersons be reserved for scheduled castes (SCs) and scheduled tribes (STs) in proportion to their respective population, and not less than one-third seats and offices of the chairpersons be reserved for women, including within the SC and ST reservations. Women's increased political participation has yielded positive results. Issues central to development-including health, nutrition, family income and education-have taken center stage as women participate in panchayati raj institutions (PRIs), village development boards, and other governance structures. India has primarily relied upon this method of reservation to ensure women's presence in decision-making bodies. This has increased de jure, but not necessarily de facto, participation. There is a need to encourage women's participation in other kinds of groups and associations which contribute to an atmosphere of leadership by women. This book discusses the background and future possibilities of women and PRIs. [Subject: Gender Studies, India Studies, Constitutional Studies]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Individual S Self-Conception As Being Male Or Female, As Distinguished From Actual Biological Sex. For Most Persons, Gender Identity And Biological Sex. For Most Persons, Gender Identity And Biological Characteristics Are The Same. There Are, However, Circumstances In Which An Individual Experiences Little Or No Connection Between Sex And Gender, In Trans-Sexualism, For Example, Biological Sexual Characteristics And Distinct And Unambiguous, But The Affected Person Believes That He Or She Is Or Ought To Be Of The Opposite Sex. Gender Identity Is Not Fixed At Birth; Both Physiologic And Social Factors Contribute To The Early Establishment Of A Core Identity, Which Is Modified And Expanded By Social Factors As The Child Matures.The Women S Movement Questioned Certain Social Institutions And Traditional Values, Basing Many Of Its Arguments On Scientific Studies Suggesting That Most Supposed Differences Between Men And Women Result Not From Biology But From Culture. Many Women Objected That The English Language Itself, By Reflecting Traditional Male Dominance In Its Word Forms, Perpetuated The Problem. Successful Efforts To Reform The Language Included The Introduction Of The Title Ms. As An Alternative To Miss Or Mrs; The Substitution Of Gender-Neutral For Gender-Based Terms, Such As Firefighter For Fireman And Flight Attendant For Stewardess; And The Avoidance Of The Male Pronoun He (For Example, By The Use Of A Phrase Such As He Or She) When Referring To Persons Who May Be Either Male Or Female. The Women S Movement Also Sought To Foster Changes In Male-Female Relationships Within The Family, Including The Sharing Of Domestic Roles And The Avoidance Of Gender Stereotyping In Children S Toys And Books, Television Programs, And Other Media. An Increasing Number Of Women Chose To Use Their Maiden Name After Marriage, Either In Place Of, Or In Conjunction With, Their Husband S Name. Much Attention Was Given To Consciousness Raising To Make Women Aware Of Their Shared Abilities, Experiences, And Problems.In India, With The Help Of Ngos Efforts Are Being Made In Terms Of Gender Equality And Women Empowerment By Forming The Women Shgs. The Book Is Based On This Effort And Hope That It Will Be Liked By All Those Working For The Welfare And Development Of Women.

Download or read book Voice and Agency written by Jeni Klugman and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2014-09-29 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite recent advances in important aspects of the lives of girls and women, pervasive challenges remain. These challenges reflect widespread deprivations and constraints and include epidemic levels of gender-based violence and discriminatory laws and norms that prevent women from owning property, being educated, and making meaningful decisions about their own lives--such as whether and when to marry or have children. These often violate their most basic rights and are magnified and multiplied by poverty and lack of education. This groundbreaking book distills vast data and hundreds of studies to shed new light on deprivations and constraints facing the voice and agency of women and girls worldwide, and on the associated costs for individuals, families, communities, and global development. The volume presents major new findings about the patterns of constraints and overlapping deprivations and focuses on several areas key to women s empowerment: freedom from violence, sexual and reproductive health and rights, ownership of land and housing, and voice and collective action. It highlights promising reforms and interventions from around the world and lays out an urgent agenda for governments, civil society, development agencies, and other stakeholders, including a call for greater investment in data and knowledge to benchmark progress.
