India stands at 108th<\/sup> position in global gender gap report <\/strong>of World economic forum. There is also less participation of girls in Science, technology, engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Fields . IIT in 2016 got only 8% female student. Only 12% women legislators are there in India. IMF report suggested that Female Labour Work Force is less in India compared to other peer countries. This shows a clear gap when it comes to women at work wrt men in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reasons\/ Causes.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Social Causes-<\/strong>\nPatriarchal mindset prevailing in society where women is considered as\nhousewife only. Also there is feudal mindset in society where women is often\nobjectified and tied to family managing tasks. Social stigma prevails as some\nfamilies still do not allow women to work.<\/li>
  2. Safety Reasons-<\/strong>\nWorkplace safety is very important when it comes to women participation in\nindustry. Apathy by employers to provide infrastructural facilities to women\nsuch as toilets, cr\u00e8che facilities, transport facilities etc as organisations\nfind it financial burden. Also Sexual harassment at work place also acts as a\nfactor of skewed gender ratio leading to stress ,fear etc. Study says 80% of\nwomen leave their jobs after facing with sexual harassment.<\/li>
  3. Personal Causes-<\/strong>\nWomen has to balance between family tasks as well as official tasks which some\nwomen are unable to cope up with. Lack of self confidence among women as\ncompared to their male counterparts is evident.<\/li>
  4. Misconceptions<\/strong>–\nWomen are still considered less efficient to men when it comes to work\nalong-with lack of awareness about the rights available to women coupled with\ndelay in judicial mechanism.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Measures needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    1. Awareness- <\/strong>Creating\nawareness regarding women rights. NGOs\/CSOs to take pro active measures in\nbringing the change.<\/li>
    2. Legal- <\/strong>Sexual\nharassment at work place law to be implemented in letter and spirit. Following\nVishakha guidelines strictly. The pending Women Reservation bill should be\npassed so that at least 33% women will be represented in Loksabha and\nAssemblies.<\/li>
    3. Skilling-<\/strong> Upgrading\nskills of women , encouraging entrepreneurship spirit in them etc. Stand up\nIndia is a good initiative.<\/li>
    4. Proactive efforts- <\/strong>Promoting\nSHGs for inclusive and sustainable development of women eg SEWA organisation. Women\nshould be encouraged to be more vocal about their rights eg METOO CAMPAIGN.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Government of India efforts such as Beti bachao beti padhao, stand up India, MUDRA, maternity benefit act <\/strong>etc are steps in right direction. Stringent laws and punishment should be given to the person who harasses women in any form. Madhya Pradesh has law that give life sentence to the person who found guilty of raping a girl of less than 12yrs old. Such efforts should be implemented in letter and spirit to realise true potential of women to increase their participation in work force.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
