The role of women is very crucial to the rate at which a country develops and in many ways is an indicator as to how well the country is developing. The Non-Aligned Movement represents a very large mojority of humanity on this earth. We have fought against imperialism, racism, domination, discrimination. The fight for the rights of women is part of this larger fight.
Women are social conscience of a country, they hold our societies together. In developing countries women have been active in all fields and they have risen to prominent places specially in the political field. Unfortunately, at the lower level we have not been able to give them enough freedom of movement, enough help to rise above the discriminations that had been built up over rhousands of years of a male-dominated society.
A society's progress can really be judged by how well half our society progresses. And if they are to progress fast, half the talent, half the energy cannot be ignored. Historically, in the matter of sacrifices, in heroism, there have been no diffference just because of sex. Women's contribution to humanity throughout history, whether in the work place. or in society, has been no less than men's. Still women today do not get adequate opportunities education and in employment. We realise that one of the key factors in education. And as firs step, we have made education free for girls, up to the High School stage.
As a group, women are parhaps the largest under privileged group in the world. And we must fight to remove this disparity. In India we have special programmes, and special monitoring to see how women can progress faster. This can be done only when voluntary agencies help the Government. This-problem are similar all over the world, especially amongst our developing countries.
