PREAMBLE

Woman, the very creation of God that makes living beautiful and has been placed on the supreme post in the strength, is often at the receiving end of trauma. This does not happen in only rural areas but they are found in sky rises and posh suits too. Rape cases, domestic violence are increasing day by day. It has been really very difficult for them to define their rights because the changing society has its own system.

Universal human rights declarations are basic rights and freedoms to which all human being are entitled. Article 1 of the United Nation's universal declaration of human rights declare –

“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirits of brother hood".

One of the most enduring clichés about India is that, is a country of contradictions; like all clichés this one too, has a gain of truth in it. At the heart of the contradiction stand Indian women: for it is true to say that they are among the most oppressed in the world and it is equally true to say that they are among the most liberated, the most articulate and perhaps even the most free. Can these two realities be simultaneously true?

During 18 years India had a woman Prime Minister when, the country saw increasing incidents and violence against women on the other hand women got protection for their rights.

Women’s reservations, unified civil court, protection against insecurities are basic problems the Indian women are facing today. Indian values bind their feet. How can a good understanding are made about the rights of women. They are very important and they deserve all the rights that can be given to anyone.

The independence brought many promises and dreams for women in Indin- the dream of an egalitarian, just democratic society in which both men and women would have a voice. The reality when it began to sink in, was how ever somewhat different. For all that had happened, that despite some improvements in the status of women patriarchy had simply taken on new and different form (Urvashi Butalia).

Human Rights commission and National women’s rights commission are established in country to protect the rights for women, but yet they have not served up to the mark they would be. Vishakha, Aarushi or Ruchika are some of the latest examples.

In this context two days national seminar has its direction to destination. It will help us to discuss the real position of the rights of women. Papers are invited from rural and remote rural areas, which will help to understand the real situation of human rights in Indian women’s because we are in dilemma. In this light these sub points will be discussed in different sessions.

All the participants are expected to give their own view and it is ever understood that experienced solutions have ever been better for the society. It will prone its significance for students as well as for scholars.
Feminist movement is taking place not only in India but world wide. The rights of women are the rights of weaker section because doing their duties their work has never been recognized. So the right of women has just been the right of human kind. India is facing the different kind of social problems like terrorism. Female foelicida domestic violence etc. The problems concerned with women need the steps taken by scholars as well as by the society.
