Gender inequality refers to the oppression of a community of people based on their gender. Gender inequality particularly points to the unjust behavior faced by the women in the society as men are seldom penalized for their gender. In India, this is faced most by women from marginalised societies. They are ill-treated and are deprived of their fundamental rights. Gender inequality in our country is so deep-rooted that it might take years to address this issue in all parts of the country, entirely. Gender inequality for women in India begins from the mother’s womb and continues throughout their lives. This is why NGOs working for gender equality have a pivotal role to play in channelizing efforts made by the government. Some of the important ways NGOs contribute against gender equality have been listed below. Read on.
NGOs don’t work at a single place. They go to various places, especially the rural parts of the country and organize camps to make people aware of the importance of raising their voice against ill-treatment. They also train them in acts of self-defense, so that they can protect themselves from any type of physical harassment.
Promoting Good Health and Hygiene
In the rural parts of the country women’s health is a severe challenge. Women are educated regarding the importance of regular check-ups during pregnancy and their health through camps organized by NGOs. They are taught the importance of a balanced diet, cleanliness, sanitation and family hygiene.
The government has launched several women resilience programs to safeguard the rights of women in the country but most of these policies lack proper implementation. Non-government organizations working for gender equality ensure that women in our country receive the benefits of these efforts and women get the same status as men in the society.

Gender equality NGOs are working day in and day out to promote equality, but they require your support and contributions to keep functioning and attain this goal. They do receive funds from the government, but it is nothing in comparison to the scale of the problem. You can help financially or by providing voluntary services to these NGOs to make their work easier and support women in their quest to achieve equality.
Improving the Education System
NGOs have done substantial work towards improving early childhood care and education in India for both males and females. They impart knowledge regarding the importance of education for enabling women to contribute equally to all major and minor projects taking place in the country.
