Women's Education

Introduction

Education has found to be the key for girls and women living under the poverty. It is a key for the brighter future and survival. Women education at all times has proved its significance and has help women to act on their vision of changing themselves and their communities. In contemporary feminism, a body of feminist literature was one of the most powerful and successful interventions. With the strengthening of the feminist movement, the women students demanded to set up courses which are women oriented. A college education had played an important role towards the career success and economic security for women. This essay will highlight the current scenario of what are the challenges that women faces in education.

Discussion

One of the critical problems that women face in college and universities is the: Sexual Harassment”. Majority of college students especially the female students experience sexual harassment during their first year. Female students are often targeted of sexual jokes, gestures etc. In such circumstances women feel worried, confused and disappointed in their college experience. For example, women students are more likely to pay less attention during their classes as a result of harassment. More than 50% of the harassers' think that their acts are funny. Due to lack of women education, it is somehow observed that most victims of sexual harassment especially the women do not report to tell anyone about their experiences (www.aauw.org). The fundamental reasons could be fear of embarrassment, guilt etc. Therefore, it is had become dominant that due to lack of proper feminism this unwanted behavior is common in various academic institutions (books.google.com).
