India is one of the largest and fastest growing economies in the world. Yet, when it comes to gender equality, India ranks poorly on global indicators. The discrimination starts from even before the girl child is born. In many instances, she is prevented from being born. The girl child is considered a burden. She is often deprived of the basic rights and equal opportunities to lead a wholesome childhood and adult life. According to the Census 2011, from the total child population in India, girls account for 48%, many of whom are engaged in child labour, child trafficking and child marriage.
Every child deserves to reach her or his full potential, but gender inequalities in their lives and in the lives of those who care for them hinder this reality.
Gender inequality is one of the oldest and most pervasive forms of inequality in the world. It denies women their voices, devalues their work and make women’s position unequal to men’s, from the household to the national and global levels.
Gender inequality is differentiation between people due to gender. Individual can be either of masculine or feminine gender. Since ages there has been perception towards genders depending on their sexes, strengths, capacity and capability to do a certain task. Inequalities are majorly displayed at commercial workplaces and home.
At home, parents are responsible for this. It’s demonstrated in various ways. At workplaces women are paid less, seen as a play material, helpless, depending on male subordinates and being vulnerable to them.
Gender inequality means to discriminate between a girl and a boy. Girls by birth are given less rights in the society and boys are given unnecessary rights. Today, even educated people are practicing gender inequality.
We as youths can try to create awareness among people to stop gender inequality. We can show charts, graphs etc in which girls are doing better than boys.
Girls-women are proving themselves better in each and every arena. Our President is a woman; many of the ministers are women. Some of the women are housewives, but they do their work 24/7 and 365 days without taking any holiday.
As awakened youths of progressing India, we can do our part in reducing the Gender inequality.
Wherever they live in India girls and boys see gender inequality in their homes and communities every day – in textbooks, in movies, in the media and among the men and women who provide their care and support.
Across India gender inequality results in unequal opportunities, and while it impacts on the lives of both genders, statistically it is girls that are the most disadvantaged.
Globally girls have higher survival rates at birth, are more likely to be developmentally on track, and just as likely to participate in preschool, but India is the only large country where more girls die than boys. Girls are also more likely to drop out of school.
In India girls and boys experience adolescence differently. While boys tend to experience greater freedom, girls tend to face extensive limitations on their ability to move freely and to make decisions affecting their work, education, marriage and social relationships.
As girls and boys age the gender barriers continue to expand and continue into adulthood where we see only a quarter of women in the formal workplace.
Some Indian women are global leaders and powerful voices in diverse fields but most women and girls in India do not fully enjoy many of their rights due to deeply entrenched patriarchal views, norms, traditions and structures.
India will not fully develop unless both girls and boys are equally supported to reach their full potential.
There are risks, violations and vulnerabilities girls face just because they are girls. Most of these risks are directly linked to the economic, political, social and cultural disadvantages girls deal with in their daily lives. This becomes acute during crisis and disasters.
With the prevalence of gender discrimination, and social norms and practices, girls become exposed to the possibility of child marriage, teenage pregnancy, child domestic work, poor education and health, sexual abuse, exploitation and violence. Many of these manifestations will not change unless girls are valued more. Despite some important progress to change this in recent years, in no country women have achieved economic equality with men, and women are still more likely than men to live in poverty.
Bring Smile aims to create a world where the girl child is celebrated and has access to equal opportunities to study, to grow, and to prosper as her male counterpart.
Bring Smile efforts to bring about a change in this situation include:
Be it education, health, protection, or participation, all girls deserve equal opportunities and an empowering environment to thrive. You can help Bring Smile reach out to more girls and help make a difference in their lives to ensure they lead happier and healthier childhoods. to help promote the rights of young girls and resolve gender inequality in India.
Gender equality is very important for the development of society and is regarded as key to achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. An empowered woman contributes to the productivity of her whole family, both economic and social. If India is to enter the league of developed nations, gender equality must be central to all its development policies. During a visit to India, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim said, “Unless you put women at the centre of the development process, unless you move aggressively towards gender equality, it’s not just that you are doing the wrong thing in terms of human rights, you are doing the wrong thing economically. If you want to grow economically, you’ve got to focus on gender equality. We couldn’t be more committed to this issue and we know this is an issue that is very important to India.”

Extreme poverty disproportionately affects women because they do not have as many opportunities as men to receive an education, work, or own property. The reasons are many. Barriers to girls’ education – like poverty, child marriage and gender-based violence – vary among countries and communities. Poor families often favor boys when investing in education.
In some places, schools do not meet the safety, hygiene or sanitation needs of girls. In others, teaching practices are not gender-responsive and result in gender gaps in learning and skills development
Girls start missing out on opportunities to reach their full potential at a young age. Families living in poverty often decide to send their boys to school instead of their girls, or allow their daughters to enter into child marriage
Forced domestic work begins during childhood for many girls, who are burdened with the responsibilities of taking care of elderly parents or fetching water for the family. If they become mothers, chores only increase as they are left to look after children and the home. Investing in girls’ education transforms communities, countries and the entire world. Girls who receive an education are less likely to marry young and more likely to lead healthy, productive lives. They earn higher incomes, participate in the decisions that most affect them, and build better futures for themselves and their families.
Girls’ education strengthens economies and reduces inequality. It contributes to more stable, resilient societies that give all individuals – including boys and men – the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
But education for girls is about more than access to school. It’s also about girls feeling safe in classrooms and supported in the subjects and careers they choose to pursue – including those in which they are often under-represented.
