    Women’s education is the most important thing from the early developing country. It’s seems like that time the women’s were not that powerful to get an education by their own choice, if the guardian of the house(father or any male character) gave permission to them they were allowed then. It’s quite natural to have such power at that time. But now women’s can choose their own education, power, and everything. The education of all over the world has grown up time to time. Even the male characters of the society doesn’t require any permission to give them the power they actually have. Education system is now becoming powerful and worthy.

    Mental health is a critical component of overall well-being, and women may experience specific challenges that are relevant to mental health. At the same time, here are some other important issues concerning women’s mental health and gender differences:

    Changes in hormone levels

    • The menstrual cycle/Menstrual changes, which has a direct impact on mood changes along its different phases leading to PMS or PMDD. The Pregnancy – Postpartum: both having a baby and caring for the child can be very hard times in women’s lives, they may trigger mental health problems. Postpartum depression and anxiety, for example are pretty commonplace. The Menopause: This period many face emotional and psychological problems along with hormonal changes due to transition into menopausal.

    Sociocultural trigger

    • Gender Roles: Traditional roles and societal norms… Stress, anxiety & depression can develop as a result. Women in particular are subject to competing expectations of career, caregiving and housework. Violence and Abuse: Women are more likely to be subject to certain types of violence, such as domestic violence or sexual assault–experiences which can have an impact on mental health that lasts early into older age.
    • Discrimination and Inequality: Discrimination on gender basis can cause incremental stress leading to diverse mental health issues including workplace. Mothering and all the things that can come with it is a big stressor.

    Aging

    Older adult women have mental health risk factors related to aging that include coping with empty nest syndrome, singlehood/childlessness in later life, retirement & income loss as well as chronic medical conditions.

    Mental Health Care

    • Stigma: Stigma in Typing of the form that a women is not able to get help for her illness. Ignorance of availability: Mental Illness is the first dimension that influences people in choosing to approach or not towards mental health services; it implies that many patients lack information on what service can be offered by specialist agencies. They do this because access barriers have contributed implications from national literature as well as low levels and status, geographic location, cultural beliefs etc being affected differently each time so creating their own reasons why they choose without getting to the clinic perceived fear for community members.

    Mental Health Ailments

    • Common Mental Issues – Depression and Anxiety: They are on the top list of mental health issues in women. The prevalence of depression and anxiety are higher in women than men.
    • Disordered Eating: Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder are more common in females. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Female sex is at greater risk of PTSD, especially following sexual violence or abuse.

      Which societal expectations or pressures have had the biggest emotional impact on you as a woman?

      The societal pressure to get married and have children by a certain age feels like a constant pressure in a patriarchal society, especially for women who want to prioritize their careers or haven’t found the right partner. 15 years ago, after completing my studies, I wanted a fulfilling career and an independent life – financially, emotionally, and physically.  find joy in supporting my parents financially ,and bringing happiness into someone’s life. I also dreamed of traveling the world alone (which was a social taboo at that time). For me, marriage was a choice, not a necessity.
      The pressure often starts at home, with parents and relatives,  always reminding you of the ideal timeline for marriage and the ticking biological clock. This may escalate to emotional manipulation until you get married.
      But the expectation never stops there …Society paints a picture of the “superwoman” – a woman who excels in every area of life. She expected to be a star performer at work, a master chef who rivals Sanjeev Kapoor, a home organization guru like Marie Kondo, and above all a perfect mom. The pressure intensifies when she becomes a mother. Here, even the child’s weight is seen as the ultimate measuring scale of a mother’s competence. Her kindness, emotional intelligence, wisdom, and the unique bond she builds with her child fade into insignificance. In this constant pressure to fit into a prototype, we forget to enjoy the beautiful moments of our lives. always there is a clash between societal expectations and personal desires, leaving women to lead a life with internal conflict.
      Happy to see some positive changes over time. Nowadays, women are becoming more independent, confidently voicing their needs, and finding happiness in pursuing their hobbies and passions. hope it continues and redefines societal expectations.

      To support working mothers effectively, policies need to address both their professional and personal needs, promoting a balance between work and family responsibilities. Here are essential policies that should be formed:

      **1. Flexible Work Arrangements:** Implement flexible work hours and remote work options to help mothers manage their time more effectively. This can reduce the stress of balancing work and family commitments.

      **2. Paid Parental Leave:** Offer comprehensive paid maternity and paternity leave to ensure that mothers (and fathers) can take sufficient time off for childbirth and early child care without financial strain.

      **3. Childcare Support:** Provide on-site childcare facilities or subsidies for external childcare services. This makes it easier for mothers to return to work and ensures their children are well cared for.

      **4. Breastfeeding Support:** Create breastfeeding-friendly workplace policies, including dedicated lactation rooms and flexible break times for nursing mothers.

      **5. Return-to-Work Programs:** Develop re-entry programs that support mothers returning to the workforce after extended leave. These programs can include skills training, mentorship, and phased return options.

      **6. Anti-Discrimination Policies:** Enforce strong anti-discrimination policies to protect working mothers from bias related to pregnancy and child-rearing responsibilities.

      **7. Mental Health Support:** Provide access to mental health resources and counseling services to help mothers manage the stress and challenges associated with balancing work and family life.

      **8. Career Development Opportunities:** Ensure that working mothers have equal access to promotions, training, and career advancement opportunities, preventing career stagnation due to parental responsibilities.

      By implementing these policies, employers can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for working mothers, enabling them to thrive both professionally and personally.

      Millions of Women are victim sexual violence around the globe. If we talk about India, according to National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) on an average 90 Rapes are reported per day in India. There are many more unreported crimes against women happen on daily basis.

      There are many reasons for which the crime against women increasing, few one discussed belt below,
      • Education – Education crates ethical and Law-abiding individual. But in current scenario our education system is not reached its full potential. Due to which there are many areas where the children do not get even basic training schooling which impact there overall intellectual growth, which leads to them to attempt immoral activates in society and in their family, like theft, eve teasing women, rape, dowry etc.
      Though it is true that can overall crime rate along with crime against women grows due to lack of education but still we cannot blame this only to education. There are many more reasons present in society which causes the crime against women.
      • Gender inequality – According to Gender Gap Index India ranked 129th among 146 countries, which indicates the deterioration Gender gap over the Years.
      • Poverty – Despite of India’s the rapid economic growth a big sum of people is still under the poverty line, people of this group are more vulnerable to criminal activity along with crime against the women.
      • misuse of power- many of times are see societally powerful educated people involve, in crime against women. E.g. Complaint of Sexual abuse by a women IPS officer against her senior in & Dec,2021.

      Our vigilant judiciary and with law enforcement departments continuously tries to eradicate the problems and crime against women by many laws and punishments. There are NGOs which are solely work for victims of crime. We can still hope a society free form crime.

      The ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ (BBBP) scheme, launched in 2015, aims to address gender discrimination and promote the education of girl children in India. While it has brought significant attention to these critical issues, its implementation and monitoring have not achieved the desired outcomes in girl child education.

      Implementation Challenges:

      1. Resource Allocation: A significant portion of the funds allocated for the BBBP scheme has been spent on media campaigns rather than grassroots interventions that directly benefit girls’ education. This misallocation has limited the scheme’s impact on the ground.
      2. Infrastructure Issues: Many schools, especially in rural areas, lack basic amenities such as toilets, clean drinking water, and safe transportation, which are essential for encouraging girls to attend school.
      3. Teacher Training: Insufficient training for teachers to handle gender-sensitive issues and promote an inclusive learning environment has hindered the effectiveness of the scheme.

      Monitoring Challenges:

      1. Lack of Accountability: The absence of robust monitoring mechanisms has resulted in poor accountability at the local implementation level, leading to inefficiencies and corruption.
      2. Data Gaps: Inaccurate or incomplete data collection on enrollment, retention, and performance of girl students hampers the ability to assess the scheme’s progress accurately.

      Conclusion: While the BBBP scheme has raised awareness about gender discrimination, addressing the above challenges is crucial for achieving its goals. This includes better fund utilization, improving school infrastructure, training teachers, and establishing strong monitoring and accountability mechanisms.

      It is perfectly fine if a woman decides not to work after marriage, as long as the decision is hers and not imposed by societal or familial expectations. Autonomy in making such choices is crucial for a woman’s sense of control and fulfillment. Encouraging women to work can have significant benefits, not just economically but also for their personal growth and independence. Employment provides women with financial security, social interactions, and opportunities to pursue their passions and talents, helping them maintain their identity beyond their roles as wives or mothers.

      However, the issue is complex and nuanced. Each individual’s circumstances and aspirations are different, and what works for one woman may not be suitable for another. The key is ensuring that women have the freedom to make informed decisions about their lives without pressure or judgment. Whether a woman chooses to work or not, it is essential that she feels valued and supported in her choices.

      Ultimately, the focus should be on empowering women to control their destinies and identities, whether that involves a career, homemaking, or a combination of both. Respecting and supporting a woman’s choice, whatever it may be, is fundamental to her well-being and happiness.

      There are multiple interrelated reasons for the decline in women’s labor force participation in India. These include:

      Women’s responsibilities as homemakers and caretakers are frequently given priority over their involvement in the official workforce by society expectations and traditional gender roles. This kind of discrimination may discourage women from working outside the home, especially in conservative and rural areas.

      Despite significant progress, there are still differences in India’s female literacy rates, particularly in rural areas. Girls who have fewer educational options may find it more difficult to obtain the skills required for work in modern economic sectors.

      Due to discriminatory hiring practices, salary differences, and a lack of representation in positions of decision-making within organizations, women in India face substantial obstacles when trying to access economic possibilities. This may discourage females from joining or remaining in the employment.

      Women’s hesitation to enter or stay in the workforce is influenced by incidents of workplace discrimination, harassment, and safety issues. These issues are made worse by a lack of infrastructure and regulations that provide safe transit and sufficient facilities.

      In India, women carry a disproportionate share of the load of unpaid care work, which includes childcare duties and household chores. The inability of supportive policies to provide parental leave or reasonably priced childcare facilities might make it more difficult for women to balance work and family obligations.
      In India, a large number of women work in the unorganized sector, which frequently lacks legal protections, benefits, and job security. In addition, the informal economy frequently pays less and provides fewer chances for professional growth and skill acquisition.

      A multifaceted strategy is needed to address these concerns, including campaigning for gender-sensitive policies, expanding access to education and skill-development opportunities, improving workplace safety and inclusivity, and questioning conventional gender stereotypes. In addition to helping individual women, economic empowerment for women in India promotes the country’s general economic development.

      How can we encourage more women to take up hobbies or activities they’re interested in?
      Women are highly intelligent and very supportive of each other, and according to scientific facts use their brains more efficiently than men. In the early 17 and 18th Centuries the earth was predominantly ruled by men and there was no such thing as fighting for equality or feminism. Fast forward now to the 21st Century and the world is going through a real feminism era where women’s rights have taken the fore front and the fight for equality is among the main agendas and topics worldwide. In the world and society we live in today, more than 40% of the workforce in leading industries is occupied by women.
      This is just a statistic to give you a foresight of how the world has changed and is still changing. Nonetheless to make real and proper changes we still have to do more and shake up a few more things. Now more than ever we have to support, encourage and motivate more women to pursue and take an interests in more hobby- related activities. We have to promote and create awareness in building up a activities and hobbies that are more gender biased, with no discrimination and support each other.
