SOCIAL INJUSTICE

In our society, gender stereotypes have been constructed, structured and perpetuate. Sharing about periods with the family or anyone else may damage the image of a 'good girl', plus the image of the family gets attached to image of the girl in the larger society. Mensuration, therefore, becomes a signal for the society to restrict, control and monitor a woman, hampering her personal education and professional growth. Lack of awareness give rise to various myths which the community members then perpetuate, leading to further isolation of girls during and around mensuration. They are not allowed to touch sour food items. There is critical need for a space between girls and their close once, where they can share their feelings ,concerns, expressions and can have open and frank discussion without being embarrassed and ashamed about the subject.

INdIcators of gender InequalIty

There are many indicators of gender inequality. They are as follows:


  • There has been tremendous decline in the sex ratio. Sex ratio is the number of females per thousand of males. In 2011 census there were only 943 females per thousand males. Low sex ratio is due to neglect of girl child, high female mortality and female infanticide.
  • The literacy rate for women is lower than that of men. This gap is much wider in rural areas where compare to urban areas.
  • The work participation of women is quite low.
  • The number of women representatives in the Parliament and state legislative assemblies has been quite unsatisfactory.
  • Even today there are many crimes against women like eve-teasing, dowry deaths and domestic violence.
  • The maternal morality rate is very high in our country in comparison to other countries of the world.
