Summary
Gender discrimination and violence against women and girls continue to be an enormous problem in Indian society despite high rates of economic growth. While India has been progressing on the economic and technological front, on the social front it finds no change in social norms which result in women's secondary status within the household and at workplaces compared to men. The patriarchal mindsets which put restrictions on women's agency and burden them with social boundaries have not changed.
