In a country which boasts of female (nari) worship. Just take a look at the results of the survey reported by the Times of India
Majority of the women, working or housewives, do not decide how the money is to be spent or about the way of entertainment. The so called 'Lakshman Rekha' is drawn by the parents or the husbands (Dracula ?)
40% of the women surveyed accepted that the sexual harassment is common at the workplace.
Majority of them expressed that it is not safe travelling alone in the city, that they are discriminated, when it comes to pay and promotions
The average amount of wages earned by the women: Rs 29-37.7 per day, much below the statutory provision
Out of the total women married during 2005-06, 44.5% married before reaching the age of 18 years, quite against the law
The statistics is enough to reveal the status of women India
The celebration of Women's Day is all about restoring the honour of women in India.
Save India !!
