Women Empowerment : India & World

Women empowerment means the uplifting of women in social , cultural as well as in the economic  ways,  it is the process in which  she can directly  participate  in the programmes of the society  and the temptations against  the role of her participation  will be eradicated. Women  empowerment  is an inevitable  pedestal in which, she shall  be equipped  with men in all ways,  she can enjoy  the  joys  of the society  without  any hindrances  based on the gender disparities. Is there any link between demography and women empowerment?  The family planning   and controlling demography are truly linked with empowerment of women in many ways. Thus we need an environment in which, population shall be controlled.

Through creating small sized   families, it is possible to divide the income within the family in better ways. Through such a way, the well-being of women is empowered because she can be blessed with minimum requirements in the family. The women are the section who is compelled for the compromises in all perspectives, to suffer all miseries, including hunger. Thus through   creating small families better income distribution is possible. Thus the women in families can get better medical  care and it have a great link with the future Indian youth that the  food and quality of life of women can  influence the health conditions  of the babies during the time of pregnancy.

The contraceptive  methods  can be more efficient  with cooperation  of the women  because  most  often absence  of contraception  leads to unexpected pregnancy  and it can lead to the scattering  of the resources  of the families and the health  conditions shall  be reduced. Thus we will have to adapt  family  planning  with more changes,  awareness  regarding  contraceptives shall be enhanced with classes  and they should  be  educated  regarding the  usages of it. Thus,  through  implementing  proper  awareness ,  they can avoid  unexpected  pregnancy,  it can increase  the betterment  of them in  the families. The awareness especially to women can make them more aware regarding contraceptives; they can compel men regarding the usage of it. Awareness should reach to grassroots levels from urban to deeper rural India.

Government policies have a great role with demography. With higher population growth, distortions can increase and proper targeting will be impossible. The governments have to make more resources to tackle with empowerment; it will lead government to spend more on awareness programmes etc. Thus for implementing empowerment of women, the family planning is necessary and so we can enhance the situations.

Education has a great role in the empowerment process because proper education and literacy can make good escalation in the educational status of women. Thus we can change  the conditions  of women  in her working  conditions ,  working  hours  and  wages. Implementing  educational status  can make her fit for better  job conditions ,  it can enhance  her role in families ,  environment  in the families, education  of children etc . Thus she can make better space in her family through making better decisions. Through her interactions, she can make better analysis regarding social issues and is necessary to change the orthodoxy of her family. Better education facilities can be achieved in a great deal only if proper family planning is achieved. If we want to do anything regarding empowerment in a great way, family planning is very much necessary. With a big population, it will be very hard to achieve minimum assurance in health conditions as well as better straddles, which is necessary to achieve the betterment of the conditions.

Social  inclusiveness is the better  way to empower  women  and it can be achieved  properly  with better  family  planning  because through  small size of families  ,population  shall be reduced, It can reduce  the situations  of disparities  in the economic  distributions and working conditions  of rural  and urban middle  class, with such measures, it can make them beneficial  ultimately. Thus we need a situation in which, social inclusiveness shall be beneficial   to them and it can be achieved hardly   without a great population control mechanisms.

Sanitation facilities are inevitable regarding betterment of the conditions of women and it is necessary to prevent atrocities against women. Open defecation may lead to situations of rape and such problems. Thus we need to enhance sanitation facilities in our homes to achieve women empowerment and to prevent atrocities against women. Population is the major bottleneck in this regard and the programmes of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan can play a greater role. Through  increasing  sanitation  facilities and toilets  in our homes,  it is possible  to  reduce  the problems  of violent  incidents  against  women.

The policies  and programmes  in India  faces a lot  of problems  regarding the empowerment  of women,  the activities  of government  is targeted poorly and huge population  act as the major  bottleneck. Thus we need stability in our population to enhance the measures to uplift women. Providing  basic  amenities and  satisfying  needs  of  a huge population  is a big problem  and if we want to implement  our policies of public distribution  system  and such  measures of direct  employment  of National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee    Act etc , we will have to reduce  our population. To achieve this, it is better to use awareness of rather than coercion. In our health  system, we do promote conventional  contraceptives more rather than  newly innovated measures because proper  medical  as well as health  monitoring  are necessary  with that  and to provide  that  is almost  impossible  though  they are available  in market. To target better results in empowerment, measures like population control is necessary considering balanced male-female sex ratio to achieve better results.
