The Role of Women throughout History

Women's liberation has followed a similar trend in other religions as well. For example in the Hindu culture, women were for long, restrained by the religious laws. However in India women have been actively involved in politics and other spheres of life since a very long time. Although some states in the Indian subcontinent have very liberal laws for women, there are parts in India where the rights of women are still trampled upon. Like everywhere else, the reason for this neglect is lack of education and economic dependence on the males of the society.

When their husband 's die society treat them as nothing as outcasts and invaluable. They are often blamed for their husbands death and is expected to mourn them forever. “The estimated 40 million women widows in the country go from being called “she” to “it” when they lose their husbands” ( Barrera, Corbacho, page 1). Some widows are even forced into prostitution because of their limited options of surviving. India is not the

It’s incredible how every country in this world has different customs and beliefs towards gender roles. In the United States, women began to fight for their freedom through the Women’s Right Movement in the 19th century. Through many obstacles and suffering, they accomplished voting rights, equal pay, reproductive rights, the right to run for political office, and much more.

Canada’s population of women has hit 52% as of 2017. Even though our population is equal between men and women, our national assembly is grossly underrepresenting the female population in Canada. Canada’s House of Commons only has 22% of the members of parliament that identify as female. This puts Canada in 48th place in the world, for the number of women in its national legislature. Women could run for positions in the House of Commons in 1919, and almost 100 years later we have not made sufficient developments. The United Nations believes that a countries national legislature should have a minimum of 30% women, to make sure that societies values are adequately represented.

It was not until 196, nearing the end of his term, that the Dowry Prohibition Act was put into

Women enjoy a unique position in every society and country of the world. Despite their contributions in all spheres of life, they suffer in silence and form a class which is in a disadvantaged position because of several impediments. India presents a complicated situation so far as the status of women in the country is concerned. The context of a traditionally male-dominated, patriarchal society, the foresight of the pragmatic framers of the Constitution of the country led to the inclusion of equal socio-economic and political rights for women. However, gender inequality persists despite robust growth and progress of the country. The Paper presents an understanding of the various facets of the protection of women under Constitution that guarantees women an equal space free from all discrimination.
