IN FAVOUR OF MOTION


Discrimination against women and girls is a pervasive and long-running phenomenon that characterises Indian society at every level.

India?s progress towards gender equality, measured by its position on rankings such as the?Gender Development Indexhas been disappointing, despite fairly rapid rates of?economic growth.

In the past decade, while Indian GDP has grown by around 6%, there has been alarge decline in female labour force participation?from 34% to 27%. The?male-female wage gap has been stagnant at 50%?(a recent survey finds a?27% gender pay gap?in white-collar jobs).

Crimes against women?show an upward trend, in particular brutal crimes such as rapes, dowry deaths, and honour killings. These trends are disturbing as a natural prediction would be that with growth comes education and prosperity, and a possible decline in adherence to traditional institutions and socially prescribed gender roles that hold women back.
