WOMEN HELPING IN INDIA
A woman is a full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform – Diane Mariechild
Women empowerment is a highly discussed topic since ages not just in India but around the globe. But still is it showing required colours to the extent needed, is still women are heard, or just ignored and neglected? Have the civil, technological advancements brought the women into the light?
Gender discrimination and violence against women are common in India. According to a report by the National Health and Family Survey, one in every three women in India, starting from the age of 15, has faced some form of domestic or sexual violence. This same survey also reported that 54.4% of rural women and 46.8% of urban women believe that domestic abuse is normal.
Right from a young age, women are made to believe that they’re inferior. They are taught to be dependent on the male figures in their lives. These ideas of misogyny and patriarchy are so deep-rooted that the women become indifferent to the abuse. Lack of education, awareness, and fear of social stigma has made thousands of women suffer in silence. According to NHFS-4, only 14% of women who reported being abused actively sought help. Listed below are the NGOs for women which are helping women get legal justice and encouraging them to take their lives in their own hands.
