declining sex ratio



Despite the various efforts taken by the Indian  government for women empowerment , the major indicator viz., the sex ratio tells  a different story about their   status.. Due to lack of social, economic. legal and political awareness among women ,  they are unable to  use the resources at their disposal for their betterment resulting in their continuation as the  dependent population. The result is,  not having their voice in matters regarding their own education, job, marriage, child spacing and gender of the child to be born, property ownership and management and exploitation within the family and the work places. The Indian women’s participation in decision making process in family and national matters is very minimum .The recent media exposure of the various types of crimes against women has further restricted their  mobility and  affected their  knowledge seeking and income earning activities and thereby pushing them backward .
