Legal Aid Projects Try To Abolish Gender Hierarchies In India

Since Independence in 1947 a variety of laws have been enacted with the objective to improve the status of women (Society For Social Uplift Through Rural Action, 2003). Despite this modern constitution, gender discrimination in various forms is widespread (ibid.).

A legal aid scheme was held by Community Aid Abroad (CAA) for women workers in India. Beyond any doubt, CAA resolved leaving no stone unturned to help them.

The traditional life of Indian women is hard. ÐŽ§Women are less allowed to own the land or do agricultural work. Worst still, women are forbidden having meals with their husbands or sons,ЎЁ said Kay Bysouth, the CAA development director.

Gender discrimination is indeed a controversial matter in the world. There are lots of debates revolving around the plight of gender discrimination among people. As gender discrimination is affected by traditional cultures, and cultures have its long-term effect on peopleÐŽ¦s minds, so we cannot expect to beg the society for abolishing this concept. Nevertheless, there are still lots of charities like CAA determining to alert people to care more about womenÐŽ¦s opportunities and rights.

Should you trample on womenÐŽ¦s rights, you should trample on menÐŽ¦s also. Do not forget your mother is a woman who gave you births. Should you discriminate on women, you should have yourself to regret. If no women exist in the world, there will be no newborn babies anymore. Women can tolerate the extreme pain during the delivery. This noble spirit is estimable. Women should be respected by men.

To-date, we may have concealed many skillful women in our society due to gender discrimination. We must make great resolutions to cease discriminating on women. We must give every opportunity to women for contributing love to the world.
