Preposterous women's rights violations in India

The constitution of India has granted equal rights to the men and women. Women rights which are compulsorily obtainable by every individual as she is a member of human family. In the sphere of women human rights in India there excist a side difference between theory and practical. As Indian society is male dominated society. On the other side women have to struggle to achieve same legitimacy as that of men. Though women in India have been given more rights as compared to women in other Asian countries. But still the condition of women India is miserable. Women represents more than half the population of India but yet they have not treated equally as men or try have not enjoyed equal rights in the society. Why only women's are prey to all these crimes such as rape, sexual harassment, bride burning etc. Today all the members of the society have equal rights to live and to live in peace. Though government is taking number of steps to improve the condition the paper will study the women human rights and how they are violated. In this paper an attempt has been made to conceptualize certain gender specific violation as human rights violation in context of India.

Denial of women's rights means denial of human rights of half of humanity. Gender based violence is one of the worst forms of violation of woman's basic human rights. Gender Violence is highly pervasive and the increasing number of cases reported confirms this point. The growing concern of the women's movement has placed violence against women (VAW) on the global agenda. At the same time efforts are being made by various groups to eliminate VAW by not only reaching out to the victims but also addressing violence prevention. The present paper discusses women's rights and the nature of gender based violence in India and shares a model of preventing violence by generating community participation. Women's Rights 1974 is a landmark year in the history of women's movement in India. " Towards Equality —Report on the Committee for Status of Women in India (CSWI) " was released in this year which gave a comprehensive view of the status of women in independent India. The report revealed startling facts which showed that even after 25 years of the country's Independence, women continued to be without any rights despite the many legislative enactments in their favour—they suffered in terms of education, health, political decision making, and careers. Six decades later we in India still are engaged in improving the status of women in the aforesaid areas—education etc…It is not that the Indian government is not gender sensitive, in fact we have one of the most gender sensitive Constitutions framed way back in 1949. We have gender sensitive laws, ratified CEDAW (1993), schemes, programmes and a National policy on women's empowerment. Despite all this the national sex ratio continues to be adversely biased against women who are excluded from benefits of basic human rights and development. International Scenario: Violation of women's rights is not one country specific but is found prevalent world over with variations in nature of violation. Though it is unfortunate that even in the 21 st century we have to propagate women's rights but the fact is that women all over the world have fought for and continue to fight for equality, dignity and freedom. The UN Document Women (Women 1991) lists at least six areas of common concern to women all over the world. These include legal literacy, health, education, work, politics and violence. The only difference is that while in the developed world gender discrimination takes the form of inequality in employment opportunities and in wages, in the developing countries the discrimination is more broad based ranging from not only in employment

The unique physical texture of women makes them pivotal in entire human reproduction on the one hand and deprivation of exercising their reproductive rights on the other. Their physical texture put them at the highest risk without having their own say in the decision-making process, even at family level. This is the most striking reason that they are not well at their best in exercising their, social, economic and political rights. Denial of reproductive rights is denial of their human rights as the 'reproductive rights' are a measurable component of human rights. Gender inequality or gender-based discrimination, prevalent in our society, has been the key issue in terms of their basic human rights. This phenomenon has created a situation in which women are in de-powered state in our society. During the eighties, there was a major increase in policies designed to prevent women from being marginalized from the mainstream of economic and social life. Though, these policies did lead to significant improvements in women's lives, yet their overall status in society remained the very much the same. The recognition of this continuing discrimination, and the focus on women aloneis now shifting towards a broader concern with gender relations. In health care and in other areas of public policy, the emphasis is now on identifying and removing the gender inequalities that prevent women from realizing their potential. In analysis of human rights, we can say that human rights are linked with the development of girl children and women from a social perspective as well as their progress.

Violence is anissue that has always given rise to moral controversies throughout humancivilisation. Neither legal ideology, nor political ideology, not even religiousideologies have succeeded in eliminating the cultural roots of the cry for retributivejustice.The National Crime Records Bureau reported in 1998 that the growth rate of crimes against women would be higher than the population growth rate by 2010.Earlier, many cases were not registered with the police due to the social stigma attached to rape and molestation cases. Official statistics show that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of reported crimes against women. It is widely accepted that the issue of violence against women has been thegreatest rallying point of the feminist movement in the second half of the 20thcentury, often referred to as the second phase of feminism.This paper cannot trace the entire history of the women, violence and law debate inIndia in its entirety. I am restricting it to the few issues discussed so far,because between them they cover the major controversies within the movementand between the movement and the State and the general public.

Human beings are granted rights by society not only as citizens of a state but because they are human, however, women’s rights are often violated not only in the political field but also in day-to-day life, in the family, in households and in the public domain. Women have always been a part of literature throughout the ages. Unfortunately, they have often been depicted as weaker, inferior, could not survive on their own and could not do their work by themselves.

The status of women in India has been subjected to many great changes over the past few decades.Women have been progressed,educated and employed by reforms and upliftment which brought a radical change in the society but without touching the roots of the problems that women have been fighting with. Women's rights under the constitution mainly include equality, dignity, and freedom from discrimination; additionally, India has various statutes governing the rights of women. However, women in India continue to face numerous problems such as sexual assault, gender inequality and dowry.The status of women in India is like the eco system of the earth, losing its actual shape and qualities and taking a new change imbalanced and unwanted leading to a smaller problem to a bigger one.

The aim of the present paper is to present the picture of gender inequality in India. Being the second largest democracy of the world India is very complex and diversified, and it is present in many ways, many fields and many sections of the society. The opportunities in the field likeeducation, political, social, economical, religious, employment etc. where men are always preferred over women. The second issue in the paper is discussing about the various practices that resulted in a wide gap between the position of men and women in the country. In India, a woman still needs the richer of a husband and a family. Their dominating nature has led women to walk with their head down. It was all practiced from the beginning and is followed till date. Consider the woman's reservation case in parliament. The opposing party believes that women are born to do household work and manage kids, and not to corrupt the country by taking hold over politics. What the society need today are trends where girls are able not only to break out of the culturally determined patterns of employment but also to offer advice about career possibilities that look beyond the traditional pail of jobs. It is surprising that in spite of so man laws, women still have miles to go. Thus, it is rightly said-Man and Woman are like two wheels of a carriage. The life of one without the other is incomplete.

Dignity to each created being and the creation of the creator is the utmost respect and prospect to the creator and the protector of the universe. Woman and the man is the epitome of the creation of the creator. The image and the likeness of the God are to be experienced and expounded by saluting one another and living in unity and diversity. God has never ceased or eased to speak, God speaks ever anew in every event and moment with content, in every change and in every age without any damage. Every man or woman in need is God's urgent word, deed and bread. There is much confusion and fusion today about the modern concept and precept of Indian womanhood. The injustice and discrimination against women cover every area of social living and every stage and page of life. Emancipation of women from discriminative attitudes, unjust systems and structures of exploitation created by a male-dominated society is a crying need today, especially in India where, as is well known, they are denied even the right to be born, let alone the other forms of injustice. Objective of the study is to enhance the dignity of women and to explore the unity is the possibility in the emancipation of women.

Female collectively constitute maximum portion of the population worldwide, and they are also granted with the equal rights like men but then also the women are subjected to bigotry. They are not able to get desired place in the society like men and there is no such society till now where women can enjoy satisfactory level of equality with men. Numerous times the females face discrimination on various grounds like gender, physical ability and many more, and there are numerous countries where they are subjected to bigotry because of their weaker financial position or capacity. There is an essential requirement which needs to be complied with, that the Union and the concerned State governments are collectively required to pay their important attention towards this issue because as we all know that women are also having certain rights like the Right to hold any estate, house, or any other tangible or intangible property which is important for their dignified life and also for the prosp...

As rightfully stated by Periyar E V Ramaswamy, a famous social activist: "Man treats woman as his own property and not as being capable of feelings, like himself." Even after 50 years of gaining independence, Indian women have been unable to get their freedom or enjoy their human rights. This is not the case of India alone. Women, around the world, are considered as inferior to men and are restricted from enjoying their human rights. They are harassed, tortured, raped, restricted, forced, killed etc. Besides sexual harassment, rape, torture etc., women are facing many other tortures also.

The whole fabric of society depends upon human rights. Human rights are essential

Abstract:- Gender justice is not a recent phenomena, crime against women have been committed since antiquity. Any traditional custom that places women in subordinate positions within society or in the family has the potential to turn violent. Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru said that – “If you educate a man you educate an individual, however, if you educate a women you educate a whole family”.1 Indian history and mythology have given place of pride to women. Sita, Savitr, & Draupadi are the women whose names strike the mind immediately. We are also familiar with a record of Maithreyi and Gardi, the Vedic Scholars, who mastered the Vedas and Upanishads facing much opposition. Over the years of first half of 20th century, the struggle continued and women coined the phrase “Bread & Roses” after James Oppenham’s poem of the same name. The reference to “Bread” is freedom from hunger, and “Rose” is the satisfaction of the wants or wishes.

On global note, humans can survive easily but due to offensive state of minds people get exploit at various whereabouts. There are so many provisions, regulations and guidelines in support of human life but on some part people lack harmonious environs and vicinity which somewhere leads to stress, assault, exploitation or harassments. As India is a male dominating country, here when we talk about assault, exploitation or harassments, most of the brains struck on assault, exploitation or harassments of females only. Nobody thinks of a man getting humiliated, assaulted, exploited or harassed as they are considered to be muscular, strong and emotionless. But on a wider note we can say that both males and females get exploited or harassed. But unfortunately India have legislation for females only and not for males. Due to the supremacy of males, making law of harassment or exploitation for males is considered to be an act of low nobility for them. According to the author Robert Chinsky M...
