Educating women by Manish

There is a well-known saying if you educate a boy you educate a pereon, if you educate a girl, you educate a family. Thus educating girl child should be given the top most priority by the society.

In 1792, Mary Wollstonecraft got her thought provoking book, A vindication of the right of women, published and she strongly advocated for the educational rights for women. Since then all over the world the society have seen a tremendous change in the status of women. But still we see women are inferior to men in majority of places, i.g. countries. 

In case of India, we see National Literacy Rate is 74.04% ( Census 2011). There is a wide gender disparity in the literacy rate in India: effective literacy rates (age 7 and above) in 2011 were 82.14% for men and 65.46% for women. This low literacy rate has very negative impact on family planning and population control in the country.

We see the same condition with relative health condition of a person and education. A literate and educated person gives good care to his/her health where as the opposite happens with low literacy and education rate in society. As the women's literacy rate is low so thier health index is also low in comparison to the male counterparts of the society.

There are several parameters which can be checked to analyse status of women in society and all the parameters show us the low education and literacy rate among women. So to empower them we will have to educate them.
