Question

What is the ‘100 Women Initiative’?

Answer 1

1. Women’s empowerment is somehow linked to gender discrimination, so if discrimination stops, empowerment will come.
2. Since there is discrimination, many efforts need to be made to empower women so that our society becomes a gentler and more liveable space for all.
3. Reservation of seats for women and recognition of ground-based role models by the Ministry of Women and Child Welfare through the 100 Women initiative are a few government initiatives to empower women in the nation.
4. Recognition of ground-based role models by the Ministry of Women and Child Welfare through the ‘100 women initiative’ and emergence of role models like sportspersons Saina Nehwal, IPS officers like Archana Ramasundaram, and CEOs like Arundhati Bhattacharya are creating an environment of motivation and hope for the girls of the country.
