Women empowerment
•NEW DELHI: Being equal to their
male counterparts is still a far cry
for Indian women. Not only are
they marginal as public figures, an
average Indian woman can hardly
call the shots at home or outside.
•In 2012, women occupied only
eight out of 74 ministerial positions
in the Union council of ministers.
There were only two women judges
out of 26 judges in the Supreme
Court, and there were only 54
women judges out of 634 judges in
various high courts.
• About 66% of the female
population in rural area is
unutilized. This is mainly due to
existing social customs.
• In agriculture & animal care the
women contribute 90% of the
total work force. Women
constitute almost half of the
population, perform nearly 2/3
rd of its work hours, receive
1/10 th of the world’s income &
own less than 1/100 th of the
world property.
• Among the world’s 900 million
illiterate people, women out
number men two to one. 70% of
people living in poverty are
women
Women in India
o Total population - 1210.2 million (2011)

Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Japan
put together}
o Women population - 586.5 million (48.5%)
o Sex ratio: 943/1000 men
o Child Sex ratio: 919 /1000

•The physical, sexual and psychological harm or
suffering to women
