What's going on in india?

Kainat and her family showed true bravery in this rape case. They went against tradition and stuck with their morals. There is still a strong stigma with rape. People will say the girl was asking for it, and that is not true. You cannot justify rape by blaming the victim for looking a certain way. I watch a documentary on Netflix called “India’s Daughter”, unfortunately, the young woman did not get to confront her perpetrators like Kainat because she was murdered after being raped. Women here are seen as confident, healthy, and powerful while women elsewhere are subjected to horrible conditions, they are repressed and discriminated against by their own neighbors. The men in this video prove that women’s lives don’t matter because if she acts

Not everyone around the globe has access to human rights. There are millions of people globally who do not have access to basic human needs. The stories “Humans of New York” and A Thousand Splendid Suns go further into why and how people’s rights are taken away in certain locations. In A Thousand Splendid Suns, we learn about two young women who have their human rights taken away due to religious beliefs. Due to those religious beliefs, dictators take control over the country. In “Humans of New York,” we hear about a refugee’s experience in being forced to go to war. Human rights violations are caused by dictatorship, government, and male superiority.

All of those disadvantages for women in modern society are affecting young girls, and it is hard to raise daughters in today’s culture. We as a country should not just let this inequality continue. Men and women should be treated equally and it is important for parents to raise their kids to make the future less

Additionally, searching for political and economic solutions to the issues that force families into Sonagachi in the first place would help them build a foundation for change. For instance, providing social supports to farmers and agricultural workers may reduce urbanization, which can lead to prostitution when employment opportunities are limited. Solutions to such problems would limit the need for children to make economic contributions, which can give more children the opportunity to get an education. However, considerations of culture and cultural relativism should be retained. Trying to change the Indian culture or force them to accommodate the western conception of childhood and economics would not benefit the children or the society.

People in India show a strong preference to not spend time raising girls. The sex birth ratio in India is one of the worst having 112 boys for every 100 girls born. Gill and Mitra-Kahn believe the reason for this lack of girls is due to

India’s statistics are similar. According to the BBC “In 1961, for every 1,000 boys under the age of seven, there were 976 girls. Today, the figure has dropped to a dismal 914 girls. Although the number of women overall is improving (due to factors such as life expectancy), India's ratio of young girls to boys is one of the worst in the world after China. Many factors come into play to explain this: infanticide, abuse and neglect of girl children. But campaigners say the decline is largely due to the increased availability of antenatal sex screening, and they talk of a genocide”.

The future of India lies in the future of Indian children across income group, geographical locations, gender and communities. As per 2001, India has around 157.86 million children, constituting 15.42% of Indian population, who are below the age of 6 years. Of these 157.86 million children, 75.95 million children are boys. The sex ratio among children [0-6 years) as per Census is 927 girls per 1000 males. A significant proportion of these children live in economic and social environment which impedes the child’s physical and mental development. These conditions include poverty, poor environmental sanitation, disease, infection, inadequate access to primary health care, inappropriate child caring and feeding practices etc. The Integrated Child Development Services, which currently covers 8.63 crore children, pregnant and lactating mothers, is the world’s largest programme for early childhood development and care. It was initiated by the Government of India on 2nd October 1975 by the Ministry of Social Welfare to provide an integrated package of services in a convergent manner for the holistic development of the child. It is an inter-sectoral programme which seeks to directly reach out to children,

Facing this problem is not easy at all. We have to make families aware about the importance of girl child for the balance of society.

Traditionally, an Indian woman had only four roles and those were; Her role as a daughter, wife, sister, and lastly, a mother. The women in today’s time however are experiencing far reaching changes and are entering into new fields that were unknown to them. They are actively participating in social, economic and political activities. Unlike the older times, women today have received higher education.

There is a crisis in Asia, a problem centuries old and still happening. This problem is missing girls, but not in a traditional sense. These girls either never make it into the world or live horrible short lives before dying at the hands of their parents. This problem is female selective abortion and infanticide. This problem has taken roots in the two largest countries on earth population wise, India and China. Many solutions to the problem have been posed over the years and a few of them might work.

For many years there has been a substantial increase in women suffering or suffered from various types of abuse. South Asian women, in particular, continue to be involved in severe physical and emotional mistreatments taken place within their “private” homes. As well as, ongoing patterns of coercive control, and the deprivation of liberty. In effect, those subject to domestic violence are more likely to be predisposed to greater long-term mental disorders, and drug dependencies compared to those that don’t. This has resulted in several protests being made nationwide in aid to reduce gendered abuse. However, ethical and human rights remain non-existent for disadvantaged groups of women. This chapter will examine of how the extent of abuse differs

Many people don’t have the privilege of living a life where they can take advantage of their human rights and feel secure. All around the world human rights violation occur on a daily basis and many people aren't aware of the struggles other people in other countries go through or people disregard these violations. In the Central African Republic, women and girls are used as sexual slaves, are being raped and beaten as a weapon of war between the Seleka and anti-balaka. Another instance of, human rights violation is that in Egypt many people are being imprisoned for supporting and or being part of the Lgbt campaign. In these two countries, human rights are being neglected and people aren’t treated and disregarded as humans.

India is a signatory to UN Declaration on The Rights of the Child, 1959 which defined and recognized various Rights of the children namely: The right to health and care, the right to protection from abuse, the right to protection from exploitation, right to protection from neglect, right to information, right to expression and right to nutrition etc have been defined as basic rights of children by the

“Son preference and Daughter Neglect in India” talks about the ideology of son preference in India and what it means for the health and care of girls who survive infancy. A key factor driving gender inequality is the preference for sons, as they are deemed more useful than girls. Boys are given the exclusive rights to inherit the family name and properties and they are viewed as additional status for their family. Another factor is that of religious practices, which can only be performed by males for their parents ' afterlife. All these factors make sons more desirable. Moreover, the prospect of parents ‘losing’ daughters to the husband’s family and expensive
