Fight against gender bias in Army

More than 20 women Army officers, current and former, are fighting a tough battle in the Delhi High Court. They want the terms of employment for women in the Army to be revised. Currently, women officers have to retire after 14 years in service, irrespective of their record. In addition to being subjected to rules that don't apply to male officers. This means women officers are not eligible for pension and other benefits. Major Sandhya Yadav will have to quit the Army this month. She doesn't have a choice. As a woman, she's entitled to just 14 years in service.
