Urbanisation often goes hand in hand with a rise in urban violence and crime that manifests in terms of street harassment of women and girls, stalking, sexual violence, blackmailing and extortion rackets. Children and women are seen as soft spots who can be victimized by predators. One such incident in the city is enough and the feeling of insecurity is spread like wild fire. It not only frightens girls and women, it controls every act they consider doing then onwards. Smart cities have to be safe cities: Town planners, policy makers and budget experts need to do gender budgeting incorporating …

What Isin Store For Women In The Union Budget Of India 2015-16 ?, Professor Vibhuti Patel
Professor Vibhuti Patel
The Union Budget (2015- 16) has subsidized the corporate sector by providing tax reductions and sops. The phased reduction of corporate tax has made the richer sections of the economy jubilant. The burden of indirect taxes is going to break the back of poor women. Macro-economic measures proposed in the budget are detrimental to the working class and the marginalized sections of the economy. With respect to more allocation for social sector, paralysis has been generated by neo-liberal analysis. Instead of raising the direct taxes from the rich sections to fund the Railway budget, public-private partnership (PPP) model is promoted …

India, Union Budget 2015-2016 Union Budget 2015-16 Through Gender Lens, Professor Vibhuti Patel
Professor Vibhuti Patel
Union Budget 2015-16 fails to provide for the needs of the women in the country, with budgetary allocation for most women’s development schemes facing a steep reduction. This article reviews the budget through a gender lens and finds the vision for inclusivity sorely lacking. Allocations for mid-day meals, integrated child development schemes, girl child education, and women’s safety, among others have been critically under-funded in the current Budget.

Pravinaben was known as ‘giver’. When my father had to go to site, she would give food for both, himself and his driver. During monsoon, postman came to her asking for umbrella, if their footwear gave way, my mom would give him chappals or shoes. Whenever, a poor woman in the vicinity delivered a baby, she would make baby’s clothes, quilt and go to meet her even without knowing her personally. She taught ‘juvenile delinquents’ at remand home to cook, embroider, write and read. In spite of being in an extremely hierarchical eco-system of public sector, she treated everybody equally …

Implementation of Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009 in Maharashtra has brought massive changes in profile of education of girls. Many corporate have picked up ‘girls’ education’ as CSR activity as per Company’s Act. 2013. The mindset of educated professionals and opinion makers has also changed. Nobody is cribbing about 2% professional tax charged to sponsor Universalisation of Education under flagship programme of the GoI and implemented in the state of Maharashtra with gusto. During the death centenary year of Savitribai Phule, 1997, the State had made two-thirds of its girls and women population literate. Within 15 years of the …

WRAG commenced in 1993 in the context of very active public discourse about Muslim women’s rights under family law (in the wake of Supreme Court judgment in Shah Bano’s case where a 70-odd year old woman was granted maintenance from her husband who had divorced her). WRAG was also established soon after the destruction of Babri Masjid on 6 December 1992, subsequent to which there were attacks against the Muslim community in many parts of India including Mumbai. In this context, WRAG felt the need to understand Muslim women’s perspectives on family laws that govern them. It commenced, in 1994, …

Analysis of trends of womens’ participation to contest elections to the State Legislatures indicate that there is a gender discrimination which is responsible for poor representation of women in India .Women’s role in decision making is one of the most important questions for consideration in the movement for their empowerment. The 73rd and 74th Amendments (1992) to the Indian Constitution have served as a major break through towards ensuring women’s equal access and increased participation in political power structures. This Amendment provided for reservation of one third of seats for women at level of local governance in urban areas. There …

The Gender Budget Cells envisaged serving as focal points for coordinating gender budgeting initiatives within their Ministries and across Departments have played major role in budgetary allocations of the Union Budget 2014-15. So far 56 Ministries/Department have confirmed setting up of a cell/nominating a nodal person. This could materialize because the Ministry of Women and Child Development, in collaboration with UN Women, developed a Manual and Handbook for Gender Budgeting for Gender Budget Cells for Central Ministries and Departments. This strategy of the Government on Gender Budgeting and Gender Mainstreaming during 2004 to 2014 resulted in many State Governments like …

This philosophically nuanced work examines discourse on ‘women’s question’ with profound theoretical rigour. The book highlights contemporary debate among feminists in the context of post-coloniality. It deconstructs body, gender and identity projected by the feminist standpoint theory and provides critical reflection on inter-sectionality of social construction of ‘body’ and ‘others’ in the context of power relations and scientific rationality. The book enriches our understanding on ‘Third World feminism’ by questioning ‘embodied knowledges’. The author makes an honest effort to delineate ethical priorities in foundational structuring of heterogeneous feminist efforts to question universal forms of knowing and enhances reader’s understanding on …

For boys, adolescence is marked by greater autonomy in decision making about career, financial independence, enhanced status and expanded …
