Street plays in KGMU mark Youth20 Consultation, marking India’s chairmanship of the G20 Summit
Lucknow: The term women empowerment, child marriage and child labor is all about the authority, or the power initiated to share the inalienable rights to women and children.
The term women empowerment refers to the liberation of women from the socio-economic restrictions of dependency. Women constitute about 50% of the country’s population, and a large proportion of them remain economically dependent on others without employment.
Addressing child marriage requires identification of the enabling factors. There are cultural differences between countries. Such as poverty, lack of educational opportunities and limited access to health care.
Some families get their daughters married to reduce their financial burden or to earn income.
Around 1 in 10 children worldwide are subject to child labour, with some being forced into hazardous work through trafficking. Economic hardship takes a toll on millions of families around the world – and in some places, it comes at the cost of child safety.
