GROUP FIVE

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT IN EDUCATION

Ashwini Biradar and Devika A are the members of Group Five and they have taken ‘Women Empowerment in Education’ as their topic for CIA 1.
Before going deep into the topic, first of all one should know what Empowerment means. “Empowerment means moving from a weak position to execute power”. By the term ‘Women empowerment’, they try to tell the viewers that women are moved from their suppressed state to execute power and come up in life. And for that, they need education. Education is an essential means of empowering women with the knowledge, skills and self-confidence necessary to fully participate in the development process.
Women constitute almost half of the population in the world. But the hegemonic masculine ideology made them suffer a lot as they were denied equal opportunities in different parts of the world. Due to the rise of Feminist idea, there has been a tremendous improvement in women’s status in the World. Women’s education in India has been a major concern of both the government and civil society as educated women can play a very important role in the development in the society. Women power is crucial to the economic growth of any country. In India, this is yet to meet the requirements despite reforms.

    A case study done in India to analyze and discuss solutions for a lack in women's participation in India showed that many women do not pursue an education due to the negative cultural and social attitudes that surround educated women. It also attributes this to gender stereotyping within the classroom which discourages women from continuing with education in order to avoid the unequal treatment they receive. Society's emphasis on an early marriage also plays a major role in this as they do not want to stray from the cultural norm of marriage without an education (Singh 2018). This journal article simply emphasizes the culture’s distaste for women in education and how societal expectations make it a challenge for women to get an education. Another study was done in India that looked at the causes of gender inequality within the country attributes this mentality of the superiority of men stems directly from the lack of education amongst women.

Enloe's latest lecture discussed if ISIS is a development issue, which creates two sub-questions, one: where are the women in ISIS? and two: Where are the women in development? While there are other questions to examine in relation to ISIS, I believe her overarching argument during this lecture was to question how ISIS as it grows into a larger more stable 'state' affects the lives and development of women and their societies.
