Obstacles in Women Education

The traditional and conservative thinking of people finds women education unessential. People do not feel necessary to play attention towards girls education .Household responsibilities on girls ,early marriage ,more dowry on more education are such factors that depreciate the parents to educate their girl child .The conservative thinking of people from backward classes ,schedule caste and tribe as well as minority class that persists even today acts as a major taboo in way of women education in respective classes .Because of the defective and inferior level of education most of the women are unable to aware of their health and as a result do not have knowledge about the available facilities related to their welfare. All though there is gender inequality in every level of education ,but the rise in literacy and educational level of women can be still appreciated (Bahir ,I .B).
