Education is necessary for the growth of any country. In India, women have traditionally been confined to household work and taking care of the family. Patriarchy is the root cause; many did not believe in educating women; instead, a female child was seen as a burden, and getting married was the only way. Another reason why families shy away from educating their daughters is the lack of safety and security. Traveling during the night and living on their own instigates fear among the families as well as the girl child. Crimes against women are on the rise, and this prevents them from receiving an education. Low income forced parents to educate only the boy child, believing that he is the only breadwinner for the family while the daughter stayed at home.
It was a huge challenge to gather information related to opportunities for women in several sectors such as organizations that promote women in technologies, study resources, government jobs, etc.
We, as a team, researched individually on some of the topics and put together our work for the project.
