large majority of humanity on this earth. We have fought against imperialism, racism, domination, discrimination. The fight for the right of women is part of this larger fight.
Women
are social conscience of a country, they hold our societies together.
In developing countries women have been active in all fields and they
have risen to prominent places especially in the political field.
Unfortunately, at the lower level we have not been able to give them
enough freedom of movement, enough help to rise above the discrimination
that had been built up over thousands of years of a male-dominated
society.
A society's progress can really be judges by how well half our society progresses. And if they are to progress fast, half the talent, half energy cannot be ignored. Historically, in the matter of sacrifices, in heroism, there has been no difference just because of sex. Women's contribution to humanity throughout history, whether in the home, in the work place, or in society, has been no less than men's. Still women today do not get adequate opportunities in education and in employment. We realize that one of the key factors in education. And as first step, we have made education free for girls, up to the High School stage.
As
a group, women are perhaps the largest under privileged group in the
world. And we must fight to remove this disparity. In India we have
special program, and special monitoring to see how women can progress
faster. This can be done only when voluntary agencies help the
Government. These problems are similar all over the world, especially
amongest our developing countries.
