Role of women in social development in jammu and kashmir information

Answer»

Answer:

J&K's social, economic and political conditions have increased gender disparity in the region, with men dominating its socio-economic and political processes.[5] Women's roles have traditionally been domestic, and women in rural areas do not have access to education.[5] According to a 2011 census, the literacy rate in J&K was 68.74 per cent; literacy among women was 58.01 per cent.[6] The female high-school dropout rate is higher than the male rate, and one out of EVERY three adult women in J&K is unable to read or write (compared with one out of five adult males).

In many rural areas, the birth of a son is celebrated; the birth of a daughter is not. Males are seen as able to get a job and help support a family; females are seen as an expense, since they will marry and leave home.

Article 10 of the United Nations General Assembly's Convention on the Elimination of All FORMS of Discrimination Against Women recognises that such gender inequality can be eliminated only by education.[6] The government of Jammu and Kashmir, realising that gender disparity in education must be removed for women in the Kashmir Valley, has BEGUN a number of initiatives.Qualified female teachers are underemployed, however; school infrastructure is POOR, and student-teacher RATIOS are high.
