Women's Day Celebration needs to be extended for the down trodden . I dont think educated parents ever treat their girl child as Step child.In fact the girls are given special attention in upbringing. Those (girl child) who are suffering because they are born girls are never able to speak out. Those celebrating Women's Day should never bother about those who are really suffering. Have you ever seen any lady offering a seat in bus/ train to a lady who is either pregnant or is carrying a small child? Yes a man will surely give a seat even if she is not with child.

I think to a large extent you have hit on the target. Most of these so called "educated women" want rights for women but have only misused these rights given to them. Being a woman myself I can talk of the previlegas we have at home, education, jobs and promotions. Being a woman it is easier to get a job or promotion with a lot less effort than men.
The real needy women are not getting help due the abuse and misuse bring propagated by "educated women". The draconian dowry laws were made to help dowry abuse victims but what has happened? Every year 70,000 false dowry cases are filed by "educated women". After 10 years in criminal courts with thorough investigation they are found false cases filed for monetary extortion. But damage done already- Jobs lost, health ruined, reputation soiled, sisters amd mothers mentally traumatized having wrongly jailed.
About 80,000 married men commit suicide every year unable to bear this abuse. More than one lakh innocent women have to go to jail due to these criminal and so called "educated women".
Attending one of the women press conferences like the one we organized yesterday in hyderabad will be a revelation to see the plight of mothers and sisters in india.

please give the stats stating clear sources i.e. links to websites, exact report names. I think u r writing a lot of bull on this forum as none of the reports quoted by you on other posts - like WHO report can be traced.

Munmum,
The links are not allowed to be posted by rediff and they are deleted. However it is easy to find this yourself.
Go to indian govt website and look for ncrb. else type national crime record bureau which is the government department which tracks all issues related to laws and security in the country. I think you have not read my posts. All posts have clearly stated the NCRB stats. You must learn to respect others opinion when you have not done any research yourself.

Hello Swathie,
Kudos to educated sisters like you who are working to help the real women in need and not the criminals who harm our mothers and sisters for money. I think i heard about you from uma. You are working with uma right?
