IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION FOR A BETTER SOCIAL HEALTH FOR WOMEN
Description
Constitution of India has several provisions to safeguard the interest of woman of our country however; they still continue to face gender disparities, sexual harassment and are deprived of their basic Human Rights. One of the reasons for poor status of women in our society is “Ignorance and lack of education”. By reviewing the available reports and articles, this paper would make an attempt to highlight the relevant causes which may lead to hindrance in the path of Women’s Education. Further by conducting some case studies we would also try to understand how educating a woman may bring about a positive and an overall sustainable growth in our society and enhance their social health. Efforts would also be made to recommend measures by which we may promote education for women, which would not only be restricted to basic or elementary education but to a higher level as well. Moreover in an Indian society, girls are educated only to become better home makers But education for woman shall not be only limited within the private sphere, but we must ensure that she may also contribute her cognitive skills and creative thinking effectively in the public sphere and thus ensure a dignified life for herself and a much better society for tomorrow. Further Educated Women may contribute to promote a healthy society, where she may be empowered enough to take decision for own self and also for her family. She knows about her Health Rights and may vouch for it, if she is deprived of it. Thus Education and Social Health are interlinked, and this is what we would like to establish in this paper.
