Women Action Against Liqour
Women Action Against Domestic Voilence
Women action For Equal Wages....... all these we heard many a times , but while going through the GAD reading (by Vimala Ramachandran) I wonder why there is no effective collective effort is seen from the side of women themselves, which could result in Women Movement..... for Right to Education.
Is it because of their indifference toward female education or societal setup or ..........???

It is the confidence of being successful in a endeavor or when cruelty surpasses all limits that "action against..." comes up. Here the confidence among women to gain education and be part of productive India is missing. The notion of male being bread winners might be the cause. Even if a women is not a bread earner, an educated women is anytime better to raise children and take care of home. Probably this notion will give impetus to women for taking some action for education.
The reproductive role of women along with the social constraints prevalent hinder women's interaction in the society.Though women have considerable power when it comes to law making and legislations,confidence needs to be built by the leaders which is the underlying spirit of such movements.
Most prominently, it is the societal set up and the resulting mind set of the female population. The society teaches us to keep our dreams, our aspirations secondary to those of men in the family. Most of the girls in my village believed that education will not bring any change in their lives..so why get educated??
Till this mindset changes, till they realise the potential of education, no mass movement can take place.
i think the collective action for right to education is not a far fetched idea. infact the importance of women education has been realised but in patches. this majorly can be attributed to the social setup in india which prevents women from graduating from reproductive to productive work which in turn leads to their inhibitons about gainig education. this can be attributed not only to the patriarchal society in india but to demographic and geographic conditions of any area.
