ABSTRACT
Women empowerment is the need of society, so educate your daughters to make the nation a better place on earth. Don’t discriminate between men and women because everyone is made by God and God gives everyone equal rights with equal power. Provide education to women so that they are able to encourage the future generation of the nation. There is no need to become extra polite with women. There is a need to only cooperate with them, and understand them, and all things would be managed automatically.
Empowerment of women is very good to hear but do you know the real meaning of empowering women?
Empowering does not only mean giving her security and respect. But it really means giving them freedom of choice, a choice of making decisions on their own. No one needs to tell her what to do and what not to do. Give her equal opportunity in society and especially never compare the capability of women with men. Because everyone has their own different capabilities and qualities.
How do empowering women help in developing our economy?
Women are a key to building a strong nation. By providing qualitative education to women we can achieve the goal of empowering women. With this step, the literacy rate of our country would also increase. If our country’s 50% population i.e. none other than women are literate then they can get the job in companies or any government sector easily on the basis of their capabilities.
By empowering the women we can attain an increment in our country’s GDP due to an increase in the number of employed people. By following these steps, employment rate also increases due to which the poverty rate of the country decreases on its own. And by this, we can move one step forward to achieve our country’s development.
CONDITION OF WOMEN
Long-ago women weren’t considered human beings or responsible members of the family or society. They were supposed to either work at home to take care of their children and their family members. Or they were treated as useless as they didn’t contribute to our country’s GDP.
After some years women were seen to work in the fields as labour but they were discriminated against in that area. Also because of gender inequality, they were paid low wages as compared to men. But the amount of work they did was the same as the men did.
But in recent years women live respectfully in society because of a change in the mentality of the society due to awareness about the value of education. Many girls go to school, they get a better education and a better job. They acquire legal rights and protection and get the same opportunity as men.
GENDER EQUALITY
Gender Equality can enhance economic productivity, and improve development outcomes for the next generation. According to the world bank’s development report: a country becomes more developed as soon as these gender gaps are filled by giving opportunities to men and women.
Gender equality is the single biggest thing by which we can achieve the goal of developing a country at a very rapid rate. If we don’t protect women then how men will come. It is mandatory for every child whether he is a boy or a girl he/she should become self-dependent to motivate the next generation to do the same. By this, we can grow by maintaining sustainable development. It is observed that by achieving a 100 % literacy rate all the problems that arise in a country’s development will finish on their own.
Less the literacy rate less is the country’s development and less is GDP of that country. Because in this era also most people believe that there is no need for education for girls. As at the end of the day she is only required to do household chores and look after their children. Many literate people think the same because even the time has changed but their thinking will not change. They don’t understand the value of gender equality, and women’s empowerment they never want the women to become self-dependent.
GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES
But, to be aware of these kinds of people and make them understand how the contribution of women is really precious and needed for the economic growth of our country. The government launched many programmes and did many campaigns like” Beti Bachao Beti Padhao”. For providing them with the education they started compulsory elementary education for girls. To attract more and more people towards this scheme government also launched a mid-day meal scheme. But without the full support of the public especially rural people these schemes have no real worth. Because without the cooperation of the people these schemes couldn’t be implemented properly. And neither country nor the people of the country would be benefited from these schemes.
Along with land, labour, capital and entrepreneurship, other aspects are equally important for the economic growth of our country. It needs a high literacy rate, less unemployment, less poverty and a very important equal distribution of rights and opportunities among men and women i.e. gender equality. These all factors can be easily attained by empowering the women of the country. Because women are always smarter than men in all situations. Whether it is emotionally, physically or mentally she has handled all the situations very calmly and with a hundred percent devotion. Because she is the only person on earth who has the power to regulate and maintain the system of the universe. If we forget the most important person in this world and continuously treat them badly. Then how a country would become economically developed.
CONCLUSION
Empowerment of women is smart economics is not only a topic but is the reality of life because how can only men increase the growth of a country’s economy. Because they are only half of the population of the country and without the support of women the dream of becoming a developed country cannot be achieved. Whether you have all the powers and technologies in your hand as technologies are made by a human being and they need to be maintained by people with intelligence. Now it’s high time to show some courage or to do something big for our nation. By removing all the hurdles to empowering the women. By achieving the goal of becoming a nation in which no one is illiterate. Where no one is poor and not a single person would be unemployed.
