I have seen in my field experiences that they (illiterate and uneducated women) all say that their daughters should not have the same life they have. They would like to see that their child is getting educated. Many women are doing it. At least many children in India are getting educated at least at the elementary level. Their aspiration level is coming up.
Income enhances the role of the women within the family. If you look into the microfinance and microcredit programs, it makes a lot of important for women. It increases their political participation, because when a group of women gather in one of those programmes, some of them become community leaders. They get involved in education, in the proper function of the public agendas and proper functioning of schools, even in terms of the food supply, and even confronting the government about corruption. Their involvement is coming up. When the women come together, it serves as an empowerment/ involvement factor.
The classic example is in late 1970s and early 1980s, there was a major women movement in India. That started because of the liquor intake of the male members of the families resulted in extreme domestic violence. To fight against it, women came together, not against their husbands but to ask the state to stop the liquor supply.
Violence is not a new thing for us, rape is not a new thing for us, we face it every other day. When something happens, women are more in the position to come out, because the urban spaces provide them with a space. Especially in the middle class level, a lot of awareness is happening, through the media, through the Facebook, TV and movies. There has been an increased number of reports on sexual violence, so that is giving men fear that they’re gonna get caught.
Political participation of women, at a very local level, is that they’re normally wives or daughters of an existing member of a certain party. They just become a stamping and signature machine. But in five years they learn, because they might not talk but they’ve been listening. And when they can reach a more active position, they give a lot of help to marginalized groups.
However, Social taboos are still limiting women’s participation in politics, but I think women are finding ways to challenge that. If you say “I accept everything”, there’s no way, but if you say “I want to change this”, you can change it. Women do struggle but they’re doing it, it’s happening. We’ve had female chief justice, the speaker of the parliament is female etc.
有很多受教育程度低和没有受过教育的妇女说,她们的女儿不应该像她们那样生活,她们希望看到自己的孩子接受教育。目前,印度的许多孩子至少有初级教育水平。她们变得对未来有更大的抱负。
收入增加亦能提高妇女在家中的地位。如果你看看小额信贷和小额信贷项目,就会发现这些项目对女性来说特别重要,这同时增加了他们的政治参与程度。通过这些项目,其中一些人必然成为社区领袖,她们能参与到关于教育、公共议程、学校,甚至政府腐败等问题的讨论中来。当妇女走到了一起,她们就成为服务于赋权的一份子。
印度妇女运动的典型例子是20世纪70年代末和80年代初的停止酒精饮料供应运动。事情缘于男性家庭成员摄入过多酒而导致极端的家庭暴力行为,为了对抗这种行为,女人们团结起来要求国家停止白酒供应,而不是单纯地对抗对自己的丈夫。
暴力和强奸对我们来说不是一个新的东西,这是印度每天面对的现实。当事情发生时,越来越多的女性选择站出来,城市亦为她们提供一个解决问题的空间。通过媒体如Facebook,电视和电影,中产阶级的女权意识也日益提高。性暴力报告数量的增加,也让男人害怕被抓到。
妇女在地方参政的原因是她们可能是政党的现有成员的妻子或女儿。她们刚开始只做签名之类的工作。但在五年后,通过默默的学习,她们能达到一个更积极的位置,从而给边缘化的群体很多帮助。
然而,社会的禁忌仍然限制妇女参与政治,但我认为女性正在寻找方法来挑战。如果你说:“我接受一切”,那一切将照旧,但如果你说 “我想改变这一点”,那你就可以改变它”。
