It is understood that women are not given equal opportunity as men and

they are not safe.

It is found through the survey that majority of women are exploited .They

are exploited in the form of sexual harassment, dowry, education and so

on.

Study reveals that even in this era girl children are killed and thrown off.

Suggestions:

Conducting communication camp again in favor of girls.

Freedom to think and express their feeling.

To encourage the women to participate in economic

activity.

Enactment of stringent laws for abuse of women.

Conclusion:

Women in India are not yet equal to men. There is no legal constitutional barriers to

equality. There is only social barrier. Women in India are more after a “respectable”

and “meaningful” social status which is free from all sort of exploitation. They want

their interest to be protected and problems to be solved.

“Gender equality is not a woman’s issue, it is a human issue. It affects us all”.
