Earlier women were facing problems like child marriage, Sati Pratha, Parda Pratha, restriction to widow remarriage, widows exploitation, devadasi system, etc. However, almost all the old tradition problems have been disappeared gradually from society but given rise to other new issues. Women are continuously facing many problems even after having self-confidence, individuality, self-respect, personality, capacity, talent, and efficiency more than men. They are facing problems in their daily life even after they are given equal rights and opportunities like men by the Constitution of India. Some of the`major problems modern women are still facing mentioned below:
. Violence against women: Women are getting affected by the various violence almost every day which is disrupting society. Women are being victims of violence at a huge level day by day because of increasing crimes against women (according to the report of Crime Record Bureau of the Central Home Ministry). A woman is getting kidnapped at every 44 minutes, raped at every 47 minutes, 17 dowry deaths every day, etc. They may face violence within the family (dowry-related harassment, death, marital rape, wife-battering, sexual abuse, deprivation of healthy food, female genital mutilation, etc0 or outside the family (kidnapping, rape, murder, etc).
.Gender discrimination: Women are considered a weaker section of society than men and given less importance. Girls children are becoming real victims of discrimination. There is also discrimination of power and work between men and women because of the patriarchal system families in India. Gender discrimination affects women in areas like nutrition, education, health, care, the decline of female population, job, public life, etc.
.Problems of female education: Women education percentage is low in India especially in the rural areas because they are discouraged for higher education like professional and technical education.
.Problems related to unemployment: Women are getting more problem in searching for their suitable work. They become more prone to the exploitation and harassment in the work areas. They are given more work and hard tasks by their boss intentionally. They have to prove their devotion, seriousness, and sincerity towards work from time to time. Women who are uneducated more prone to divorce and desertion by their husbands on any stage of life. They have to live the whole life because of unbearable conditions.
.Dowry system: It is another huge women problem in society which is increasing day by day. Women are ill-treated, man-handled, disrespected, tortured and suffer other cruelties ( violence, murder, and suicide)I because of the lack of dowry at the time of marriage. I cause degradation of women status to a great extent.
.Steps taken by Government regarding Women's Safety: There are various rules, regulations, act, and laws made by the Indian Government regarding the safety or women in India. However, a new act (Juvenile Justice(Care and Protection of Children) Bill, 2015) has been passed by the Indian government by replacing the earlier one of 2000 (Indian Juvenile delinquency law of 2000) to reduce the juvenile age from 18 to 16 years especially in case of heinous offenses (after Nirbhaya Case).
