There is a lot of injustice and violence done against women in our country through various crimes of Dowry, No women Education, Sexual violence, rape, and female infanticide. The rate of crime against women every day is increasing so rapidly that their safety is threatened. Not only their safety is threatened but even they are denied their basic rights so the Government of India along with the efforts of Women’s Rights Association are trying to protect Women’s Rights and grant it to them as it is also their Right to use and receive their Rights being citizens of India.
Some of the most important Women Rights are as follows:
-
Right to Education
Under this right every woman is entitled to receive basic education and there are special schools that provide free education to the less fortunate or those who cannot afford the expenses. Right to education has improved the health condition of many women as it has reduced the rate of deaths due to early pregnancy. At the same time when a woman in the house is educated she maintains her health of her family and also educates them.
