Nari Shakti The appeasement of women is a battle cry of elctions season.Women are treated below the last cast category It is a fact that women are not only 50% of voters, but are more determined to vote in large numbers. WOMEN voters can tilt the scales of victory and margins.It is grim picture regarding girl foeticide, sex determination dowry deaths, malnutrition ofgirl child , education, trafficking , divorces ,ancestral property rights , child marriages, employment disparity in emoluments ,rapes, murders etc are not a focus of priority There are some specific schemes of women and Girl centric.and these are tailored for vote bank politics. Women have no religious roles, no membership of organisations like RSS,Bazrang Dal. Central Party execurive membership.In State Assemblies, Raja Sabha, Lok Sabha reservation of 33%plus is not enforced either for election or ministerial position One women PM.,President Finance minister is a formality .BJP does not have a single women CM .Mahila Mandals spring up during election season ..A mere reduction in gas price,or doles are to woo women voters and not women empowerment .Schemes of free education, free bus rides, Scholarships , matrenity and health care, nutrition , women entrepreneurs, self help groups, widow remarriage ,domestic violence ,banning of sex detremination tests, age of marriage for girls ,employment openings in armed servies are welcome few measures emeliorating their woes.Their predominant role is restricted to child bearing and rearing and back breaking domestic chores.Much has been done, but much more remains to be done for women .Education, liberation and empowerment Education alone leads to upward mobility in all sectors.No focus in Manifestos on women issues Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
