Women's Empowerment
|
|
The principle of gender equality is enshrined in the Indian Constitution in its
Preamble, Fundamental Rights, Fundamental Duties and Directive Principles.
The Constitution not only grants equality to women, but also empowers the
State to adopt measures of positive discrimination in favour of women.
From the Fifth Five Year Plan (1974-78) onwards there has been a marked shift
in the approach to women's issues from welfare to development. In recent years,
the empowerment of women has been recognized as the central issue in determining
the status of women.
The Eighth Plan (1992-97), with human development as its major focus, renewed
the emphasis on development of women. It sought to ensure that benefits of
development from different sectors do not by-pass women. It aimed at implementing
special programmes to complement the general development programmes and ensure
the flow of benefits to women from other development sectors to enable women to function as equal partners and participants in the development process.
The Ninth Plan (1997-2002) made two significant changes in the conceptual strategy of planning for women.
First, 'Empowerment of Women' became one of nine primary objectives of the Ninth Plan. Second, the Plan attempted 'convergence of existing services' available in both women-specific and women-related sectors.
