How do women move from property status to owner status? Take the example of the liberalization of women in India. Once upon a time there was a country called India and women were terribly powerless in Indian society. They married when they reached a certain age, and once married, their fate was linked to that of their husband. A man can beat his wife, mistreat her, ignore her and do anything else, but she has no choice but to accept things as they are. She could not have left him because society would have excluded her. But then came the changes. Women were allowed not only to break up with their husbands, but also to remarry. In India, the roots of discrimination lie in the country's religious and cultural practices. The beginning of changes began with the reform movement of the 19th century, which addressed practices such as SATI, CHILD MARRIAGE, WIDOW LIFE, etc. The status of women in the contemporary context is reflected in their state of health, their education, their employment and their life. Most of the work done by women, such as collecting fuel, fodder and water, growing vegetables or maintaining poverty for domestic consumption, is not recorded in censuses. Many women and girls who work on family land are not registered as workers. Crime against women has reached its peak. The extent of trafficking in women is unknown. In today's times, the quality of life of women has improved by leaps and bounds in the last few years and in our country, the government reserved seats for women in the panchayat in 2011. The parliament is looking forward to it to present a bill providing for 33% reservation of seats for women. In addition, a law was recently adopted against violence against women. It is a paradox of modern India that women are ceding power and...... middle of paper ...... fighting HIV-AIDS. Women may be less likely to be victims of domestic violence; children are more likely to receive an education and stay in school longer. Women could have better access to microcredit. Things have not remained the same over the past decades, or even centuries. The social fabric has acquired a whole new dimension. Thanks to the efforts of the government, NGOs, social organizations and many similar institutions, a drastic improvement has been seen. Many private companies have also taken a keen interest in improving the economic status of women and the results are extremely encouraging. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru once said, “One cannot determine the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women.” How true! We fully subscribe to this conviction and measures are underway to further improve the conditions of women in the rural sector..
