Indian Female Empowerment Politics
Women have
observed fluctuations in their personal lives as well as in overall society, in
India. The ancient Vedic periods have clear evidences where women were highly educated
and were party to making prominent decisions in ministries of the regime. But
the downfall began when the Islamic invaders or rulers took over India. They successfully
fraternized the whole marriage system and allegedly married more than one, upto
4 woman on whimsical fantasies. This eventually led to a lot of malpractices
like sati system, child marriages and nagar vadhu systems. Most of these are
known to be still prevalent in the remote areas of Indian region.

Meaning of Women Empowerment (Women Empowerment Meaning)
Empowerment
of women or females primarily means that they should be given the following:
- The right to make their own decisions post the age of 18.
- Help in generating the self-worth
- Equal rights in every sphere of life
- Give them opportunities that will help them create social and economic order
- Laws to protect the integrity of women
While the Indian
government seems to have improved with the recent changes in the constitutional
laws that were made to suppress women, they still have a long way to go if they
want to compete with the rest of the global counterparts. They continuously run
a comparison out of their inherent psychology with the USA and European nations
and try to ape their lifestyle.
What
they fail to comprehend is the freedom that women possess in those developed nations.
A single mother is no how looked down upon and given equality everywhere in
their region. Women formulate an integral part of the human society and when
you empower a woman you are taking a step towards changing the way nation can
move forward.
Laws for Women Empowerment (Women Empowerment Laws)
Article 14 in
the Indian constitution talks about the equality of women. This clearly means
that women should have an equal right to education, making decisions and choosing
the route of life they wish to take. But many loopholes in the system prevent
women from education, and this in turn further leads to lesser opportunity for
them. However, the Indian government’s “Beti Phadao Beti Bachao” is literally meant
to take concrete steps in the direction of women education in India.
Article 15
and article 16 cite giving them opportunities at the workplace with no
discrimination at all. Women these days face issues concerning sexual
harassment at their work places. The cause of these problems is the fact that
women do not know and understand the rights they possess and how they can make
use of them to protect themselves in such horrible situations.
The legal acts that people should know of:-
- Pre-Conception & Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques
- Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961.
- Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006.
- Sexual Harassment of Women at Work Place (Prevention, Protection and) Act, 2013.
Male Escort in India and bachelorette Parties
Male Escorts
for females or ladies are also much in vogue in modern times which is being
seen as women empowerment for sure, as where they have been always sold, are
now buyers in the same market.
Earlier men
only celebrated bachelor parties and women were kept away from it. Now women
also celebrate bachelorette parties, hire male strippers, cut bachelorette
cakes, and men are kept away from them. It is based on the concept that why
should boys have all the fun.
Latest in Women Empowerment
Government of
the time is working towards upliftment of women in the Muslim religion, as it
conveys. The “triple-talaq”, verbal ending or divorce of marriage has left most
of the women dangling in between with hope to resort to. The end of this rule
will help in providing these women full confidence to fight for their rights
and get due support in terms of proper alimony.
