1. Close the Gender Gap in our Society.
Close the gender Gap in our society ensuring equal education for both male and female, increased training
facilities for women, ensure health facilities, providing same wage to
women, providing gender related education to girls and women, taking
various steps to reduce domestic violence, reducing physical and mental
harassment in the working place were the possible solutions suggested by
the respondents in general. Gender inequalities exist in rural areas. Regrettably, this has led
society to place greater emphasis and value on the role of men and boys in
public life and in the work place. Structural inequalities continually deprive women of
having equal access to social and economic opportunities and services.
Gender inequalities could have both short and long-term consequences not
only for women but the entire society. Reducing gender inequalities implies
benefits not only for women but also for all vulnerable persons and groups.
The respondents were found to be able to realize their problems and
suggested probable solutions. It is important for government to understand
and find out the extent to which this problem is prevailing.
