What do we mean by ‘cause of women’? Education, social oppression, female
infanticide, women’s health, professional discrimination, mother, childcare,
molestation, eve teasing etc. Are girl children given the same opportunity to
education as is given to male children? Among the lower strata of the society it
appears to be an issue at the primary education level it self. Between
the Middle
class and the Higher Income categories this becomes a problem only when it comes
to higher education as well as professional education. Education here
covers aspects
beyond literacy, like sports and allied activities. However does this require a
representation in the parliament for redressal? Since the problem is
present in all the
strata of society, representation in the parliament will help reduce
the problem. On
the other hand, what can the parliament do about parents not sending children to
school? This appears not to be in the scope of the Parliament. Thus in
this case it
seems to be a problem of the masses and they have to be the best judge for it.
For:
1. Our Country has been witness to many tortures on women, like bride burning,
child Infanticide etc. And hence the reservation given out by the Parliament to
women won’t be enough to safeguard their prestige.
2. Although Urbanisation in India is on the rise, Indian families
still live in villages.
And hence most of the families are against educating their girl child.
This would
prove the measures taken by the Parliament futile.
3. The average age at which Indian girls get married is 18-20. Hence
such facilities
would be of no worth to them.
4. The reservation will result in more working women, which in turn
will result in ill
cared children
5. Women will try to compete with men rather than act as equals.
