 Hello. I welcome you all once again to my channel, Explore Education. I am Dr. Rashmi Singh, assistant professor, Department of Education, Assistant Khan Nagar's Dudley College, University of Allahabad. And I am talking about nowadays rights of women. Earlier I have talked about SIDA, that is convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women with regards to international perspective. And this time I'm going to discuss rights of women in Indian perspective. That is which articles of constitution, what sort of legislations and what sort of policies have been made to safeguard the rights of women in India. Okay. So the lecture will be in bilingual mode as well and it must be useful for you all. Okay. It is written in our constitution that this has to happen. Many people use it in the wrong way. At least the people who use it in the right way should know about it. So when we were talking about rights of child, we had read article 14-15. It has added 16 more. So article 14. Now you should remember that article 14 is equality before law. So the equality before law, whatever you are talking about, talking about women, talking about child, talking about any special disability, all of this will work. Why? Because it says, insures equality before the law, that is, everything is equal in front of the law. And equal protection of the laws by the state. And the responsibility of the state is to protect these laws. Then article 15 says prohibits discrimination, that is, you will not be discriminated against. On whose basis? On the basis of religion, on the basis of caste, on the basis of race, on the basis of link, on the basis of birth place, on any basis, on any basis of any person, it is written in the constitution. There are many states not to discriminate on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth or any of them. No citizen to be subjected to any disability, liability, restriction or condition on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth or any of them with regard to access to public spaces and facilities. That is, the public space, the things of public facilities, you cannot deny to any citizen that you go home, on any grounds of birth, that you have any restriction or that you are suitable to use it. Okay? Then empowers this state to make special provisions for women and children. He has said that this empowerment is given to the state, it has been given to the state to make special provisions for women and children. And empowers this state to make special provisions for the advancement of socially backward class of citizens or scheduled cast and scheduled tribes, and ESCs, STs and the backward tabqa, the past tabqa of the people, the past social group, you make special provisions for the advancement of that. You can use Article 15 for SC, STK advancement, you can use it for disability, you can use it for socially backward class, so you should know that Article 14 is equality before the law, Article 15 prohibits discrimination, and Article 16 is about employment, so what does it mean that equality of opportunity matters of public employment, That is, the employment of the public, the employment of the public, the male and the female, the man and the women, that is, we have kept the rights of the people that you say that you are a female, you are a lady, you are a woman, you cannot be less than that. So ensures equality of opportunity for all citizens in matters relating to employment or appointment to any office under this state. You do not have to do any discrimination for any appointment, you do not have to give any support, and prohibits discrimination on the grounds of religion, race, caste, sex etc. in employment or appointment to any office under this state. There is no office under the state, there is no work, you do not have to do any discrimination, you will give support in the employment. So this is the constitutional provision that is written in the constitution of India, so that the rights of the women can be protected. In addition, there are legislations, there are also laws. There are a lot of them. Protection of human rights by human, the women who are human, then you also have the rights of the women, we have come in the 19th century, to provide for the constitution of NHRC for better protection of human rights, national human resource, human rights. So it is saying that to provide for the constitution, that the rights of women that you can protect are better protected, then the National Commission for Women Act came in 1990, NCW, National Commission for Women. To provide for the constitution of NCW for the protection of women's rights, women's rights for women are also made for protection. Then the Schedule, Caster, Schedule, Tribe Act also came, legislation to check in their crimes against SCST. So SCST is made, so women's rights will also be made by default. Indecent representation of women act, 1989, prohibits indecent representation of women through advertisement, or in publication, etc. See, this is also the case. This law has been made in 1989, that you will not act indecently in any advertisement, or publication of a woman who is an actress. Then the Maternity Benefit Act came in 1861, regulates the employment of women for certain periods before and after childbirth, and to provide maternity benefit. After this, after a minute, I will check in the description box whether it is 1861 or 1961. It can be typed by mistake. I will re-check and clear it in the description box. Because this is a maternity benefit act, it is difficult to be 1861. I will check and then describe it in the description box. So Benefit Act 1961 and Maternity Benefit Amendment Act came in 2019, I have written it in 1961, so maybe it is in 1961. In which it has been said that it provides all the maternity benefits available to a woman working in an organized sector and the amount of leave available to her. That is, all the benefits will be given to her and the leave will be given to her. Everything will be available to her. Paid leave in the case of miscarriage. If miscarriage happens, then you will give her paid leave. That is, you will give her a leave. She will also get a salary. Paid leave. It states that it is unlawful to discharge or dismiss a woman absent from her duty for pregnancy in accordance with the Act. It has been said that it is unlawful. It is unlawful. If a woman is away from her workplace during the pregnancy period, then you cannot dismiss her. Then Industrial Disputes Act 1947 has been provided for the same wages and other facilities to women workers and provision of crash-feeding intervals etc at the workplace. It has been said that if there is a working place, you can give her a feeding interval. If she is a lactating mother, you can give her an interval so that she can feed her child. For women workers, there will be more facilities and wages like for males. It is very lawful. The point is that it has not changed the mindset of women workers. Equal Remuneration Act 1976 has been provided for equal pay for equal work. It is not that if a woman works on the same post, then you cannot see a woman with less salary. Because it has been provided in 1976. It states that the employer has to pay equal remuneration to men and women workers for the same work and work of a similar nature. I do not have the idea of working for women workers now. But when we were young and we used to work in our homes, I used to see that women used to be forced to work. I don't know what is the present situation. Fair Decompany Act 2013 has been provided as per the second provision. The provision should be provided as per the same section, then you can see that every listed company is disposed of more than 100 crores of paid up shares. Every company with a minimum turnout of 300 crores is more than that of one women director. We have to list at least 1 female director as female director. It is the company's Act. It is not that That is, all the women will not be shielded. So, for that, the basic thing is that Now let's come to the policies and reports. There are many legislations written in the Constitution, and many policies have also been given. For example, the committee on the status of women in India 1971 was formed in 1971, a committee that was made to the state of women in the country, in India, and for women's health. There was a comprehensive review of women's status in India in all spheres, towards equality. It was published in the name of equality, which means the origin of things. It made extensive recommendations to address discrimination and marginalization of women and gave useful guidelines for the formulation of social policies and mechanisms to address gaps in equality for women. It gave us a lot of values in which it was said that discrimination and marginalization are on the margins. That's why it's called mainstreaming. It gave us a lot of useful guidelines to address social policies and mechanisms so that women can be protected and the gaps in equality can be fulfilled. Committee looked into constitutional legal and administrative provisions and their impact on women, especially rural women, and also suggested measures to enable women to play their role in building up the nation. What is the provision for rural women? How does this work? As we have provisioned so far. And how can we support women's participation in the national revolution? Then came the National Policy for the Empowerment of Women. In 2001, this policy came for women's power. The goals of the policy are, the goals of the policy should be the same. Because it has already come. So the main goal of this policy was advancement, development and empowerment of women. That is, the development of women, making them stronger, making them advance. Equal access to participation and decision-making for women in social, political and economic life of the nation. That is, the political, political and social life of the nation is a part of women's participation and their decision-making is equal access. That is, they should not be stopped. Mainstreaming, gender perspective in the development process. That is, we need to get the mainstream perspective in the development process. We need to get the mainstream in the development process. And building and strengthening partnerships with civil society, particularly women's organizations. The issues that the civil society has, and the main social problems that women have to work on, we need to continue them and strengthen them. We have to do partnership. The draft National Policy for Women 2016, I think it is the latest. Yes, it is the latest draft of National Policy for Women for women. The policy states that the women that the empowerment of women can only be achieved when advancement in the conditions of women is coupled with their ability to influence the direction of change through equal opportunities all opportunities in all spheres of life including sorry so you have to read so much you should know you should know that how the rights of women will be protected in India for this government does so much and there is a lot of paper but still the same thing that the rights of women will be protected when their son who has their life space the people in it will change their mindset otherwise in August there is a lot of things in this time it is written again so this is yours now I have shared the whole human rights from you the concept of human rights mechanism and techniques of human rights how to teach human rights education sorry in the throat then I have shared rights of children rights of children from international perspective in which I have shared the United Conventions on the rights of child then I have shared rights of child in Indian perspective in which constitution legislation policies and programs then in the same way the rights of women in which the international perspective is your seat and convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women and the Indian perspective in which you take the constitution which is 1415 16 take the legislation which is a lot and your policies are also a lot okay so I have completed the concept of human rights education in totality with all of you and one task remaining that I will tell you in the description box that the maternity benefit act is 1861 or 1961 so thank you and don't forget to like and subscribe my channel explore education I have done from my site
