IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION FOR A BETTER SOCIAL HEALTH FOR WOMEN

Constitution of India has several provisions to safeguard the interest of woman of our country however; they still continue to face gender disparities, sexual harassment and are deprived of their basic Human Rights. One of the reasons for poor status of women in our society is “Ignorance and lack of education”. By reviewing the available reports and articles, this paper would make an attempt to highlight the relevant causes which may lead to hindrance in the path of Women’s Education. Further by conducting some case studies we would also try to understand how educating a woman may bring about a positive and an overall sustainable growth in our society and enhance their social health. Efforts would also be made to recommend measures by which we may promote education for women, which would not only be restricted to basic or elementary education but to a higher level as well. Moreover in an Indian society, girls are educated only to become better home makers But education for woman shall not be only limited within the private sphere, but we must ensure that she may also contribute her cognitive skills and creative thinking effectively in the public sphere and thus ensure a dignified life for herself and a much better society for tomorrow. Further Educated Women may contribute to promote a healthy society, where she may be empowered enough to take decision for own self and also for her family. She knows about her Health Rights and may vouch for it, if she is deprived of it. Thus Education and Social Health are interlinked, and this is what we would like to establish in this paper.印度宪法设有多项条款以保障本国女性的权益，但时至今日，女性仍持续面临性别不平等、性骚扰，并被剥夺基本人权。导致女性社会地位低下的诱因之一为“无知与教育匮乏”。本文将通过梳理现有研究报告与学术文献，旨在阐明阻碍女性教育发展的相关成因。随后，本文将通过若干案例研究，探讨女性受教育如何为社会带来积极且全面的可持续发展，并提升其社会健康水平。此外，本文还将尝试提出推广女性教育的可行举措，此类教育不应仅局限于基础教育或初等教育，更应延伸至高等教育层级。再者，在印度社会中，女孩接受教育往往仅被视为培养更优秀的家庭主妇的手段，但女性教育不应止步于私人领域，我们必须确保女性能够在公共领域有效运用其认知能力与创造性思维，从而为自身赢得有尊严的生活，并为明日社会构筑更美好的蓝图。进一步而言，受教育的女性可为健康社会的建设贡献力量：她们有足够的能力为自身与家庭做出决策，熟知自身的健康权益，并在权益被剥夺时敢于主张。由此可见，教育与社会健康二者息息相关，这也正是本文旨在论证的核心观点。
