Women's Rights Are Evolution Not Revolution

Abstract:

Women, because of the feeling of femininity, have suffered from hypothyroidism. From the Vedic period to modern era, women have been subjected to some kind of atrocities in the name of religion or cast. In the patriarchal system, sometimes in the name of discipline, sometimes in the name of religion, sometimes due to morals or to show power, physical and mental atrocities are committed on women. World Conference on Human Rights held in the year 1973 at Vienna where a resolution was passed to remove discrimination based on gender. The right to equality has been recognized as per Constitution of India and therefore it is natural that every woman should also get the constitutional human rights that every human being gets. The Parliament of India has also passed several laws to achieve the principles of Constitution of India. Few of them are : The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956, The Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 (28 of 1961) (Amended in 1986), Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (PREVENTION, PROHIBITION and REDRESSAL) Act, 2013, The Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986.
