Human rights and women's rights

Recently, during a seminar held at the University of Delhi, a female speaker wrote: "Give us women (not women) but the status of human beings, because society gives God the status of women as well as certain According to the role and the 'fixed standards', behavior is expected, due to which they have to suffer from various human rights. "It is evident from the fact that Today, various human rights should be ensured to women by symbolizing the right-based approach created by the beneficiaries of symbols and welfare programs, so that they can take a 'dignified life'.

            According to the United Nations Human Rights Council, human rights refer to all those rights which would help a person's 'dignified life'. Such as education, health, housing, food productive work etc. Similarly, under Article 21 of Indian Constitution, every citizen has been given the right to dignity.

But here the question arises that how much justice have we got with women in terms of the above human rights and constitutional rights? In this context, it can be said that even today at the international and national level, women's rights are in a state of transition. On the one hand, due to global awareness, various rights are being ensured at their political, economic, social and cultural level, on the other hand women still suffer from various discrimination and deprivation. However, the nature of this discrimination can vary according to each society and culture.

Discrimination and 'gender bias' are started in the beginning of their life. When a woman starts getting pregnant because of the greater desire of the boy in the society they face Feticides. Similarly, if after birth, discrimination is taken in the basic facilities and care after childbirth and delivery. The effect of which is on both mother and newborn. Today, maternal mortality rate in India is 178 per 1 lakh.

Similarly, if the most important element of ensuring human rights and living standards, education and employment, then the level of education of women is very rare. If education is given, due to gender bias, certain subjects like 'Home science, social science and other humanities matter, because according to a' gender bias' in our society, there is less logical capacity in women and they are related to domestic work, caring work Only because they require the qualities of mild temper, gentleness, such as those which are born in them. Although to some extent it can be agreed that women have these qualities, but they are 'only in women' or 'in all women'. This is a bias because the qualities are always neutral.

          Due to the above education and skill, there is a certain employment sector for women, such as teacher, receptionist, nurse, air hostess etc. in primary school, as these work comes under the fixed role of women. Those who can collectively call 'Pink collar jobs'. If a woman is employed in an organization or institution, then she is often kept in the following positions and the role is less in discharge, in the sense that there is an indirect obstruction in promotions to higher positions which are called 'glass ceiling' is.

 In Indian religions, women have been taught to be dependent on the father in childhood, husband in youth and dependent on old age, and due to this dependence and weak socio-economic condition, there are many types of violence against women in society today seeing.

Which is as follows?

At home Level: Domestic violence,Dowry harassment

At public place: Tampering, chase, acid attack, rape, other sexual violence

At work: Sexual harassment literally or physically

Cyber ​​crime:

According to the National Crime Records Bureau, there has been an increase in rates of violence against women. For the above reasons, today women are falling behind in the disparity of their relative roles in different areas of the society, which can be seen in the form of evidence of various global indices and surveys-

The report of "Human Development Index" India’s is ranked 13th.  As well as the U.N.D.V. India's position is 125th in the 'Gender Inequality Index' released by the same, in the 'Gender Interval Report' released by the World Economic Forum, 144 countries have ranked India as 87th and 93th position in the Social Progress Report.

According to the Economic Partnership, according to Census 2011, female labor force participation is 20.1%, according to the International Labor Organization; India holds 121th rank in 131 areas in terms of labor force participation.

In today's Indian Parliament, there are only 62 women MPs in total 545 i.e. about 11% is the same partnership; similarly, in the administrative-judicial sector women participation is very rare.
