Women have been kept and suppressed
under control by men for the ages but still we could not find the proper cure
of this sever disease of society. Although
now some women have become economically independent and educated but very few
in all have a right to take her own decision, and it’s a
well known fact that in the absence of decision making we cannot say to anyone
he or she is empowered so the result of this process we can see even of those
at the “top” very few are in decision – making and execution or managerial
position. The presence of a few women in important public position is no way
proves that the overall status of women in our countries is satisfactory. In
present scenario although women have many democratic rights- education,
employment, franchise etc. but still women have been facing –survival
inequality, natality inequality, unequal facilities, ownership inequality,
unequal sharing of household benefits and chores and domestic violence and
physical victimization. Subjugating and subordinating behavior towards women is
the cause of mental and physical dependency of women. Our double standard of
morality towards women and patriarchal structure of society both are the cause
of poor condition of women in society where still a woman has not the freedom
to choose, where she is pushed into typically “ feminine” role and low paid
“feminine” jobs, and where she is not treated with respect.
