Does education help reduce gender discrimination?

[Pr0udy]

It is only education taht makes people think in a better way. The upliftment of the woman can be done only if they are educated and a sensible thinker. Education teaches people men and women in an equal way that there should be no discrimination of children on teh basis of tehir gender.

Education somewhat helps you to have a social status, financial independence etc in the outside world. You may be a crores -involving decision making executive in a company, but at home you are treated very much like a slave , to be obedient to your in-laws, to your husband in particular. If he seems to be somewhat in lower capabilities, then you are a permanent slave for them.
You cannot even be free to dress, rather than to voice your opinion.

Even indian laws do not have any consideration. It seems even the law making authorities are gender paritive. See for example, a female hindu is not permitted to adopt on her own, if she is married. She has to obtain the consent from her husband. What nonsense is this? the husband eventually will marry on the grounds that this woman is not worth of child bearing. Unless the woman goes to the court for divcorce, she will not be able to adopt a child.
If in cases like mine, where my husband is not wiling for a divorce or adopting a child, i am the worst sufferer. I am deprived of this fundamental rights of human being, ie the soft touch of a baby.

Shouldnt the law be more liberalised to help women like me.

Please help me if you all know how married woman can adopt a child?

Of course yes, Eduction is the main tool in removing and reducing gender discrimination from the country. Eduction helps people to understand that men and women are equal in todays life and through education they can do all the work together and what men can do, women can also possess the same knowledge and strength through eduction.

YEs, education is the most important tool in eradicating the gender discrimination among the people. People are more prone to gender discrimination in rural areas and they hardly get their girl child to take birth. Education can definitely play an important role in wiping off this mentality from their mind.

Gender Discrimination In Rajasthan: In rural parts of Rajasthan an average wage of women is 30% lower than that of a man in same position, besides these working mothers had to fulfill their domestic responsibilities too. Moreover a strong "son preference" exists here, leading to high female infanticide and foeticide rate. And yes, it can be reduce with the help of education a lot!

Education can play a major role in reducing the gender discrimination, after all its only the ignorance and irrationality which brings in discrimination of women from men. If people are educated and made aware of equal right to opportunity and woman's importance in the society, women would surely get a better status than what prevails in the present days.

Yes, Education is the only tool that can help in removing this gender discrimination. Girls and boys are all same but people differentiate between the duo. Its all in the head. This girl and boy gap and differentiation can only be filled by providing proper education to the children and by telling the importance of each one in the life and human existence.
