Question

Which of the following is the true meaning of 'Equal treatment of women' as a necessary ingredient of a democratic society?

Options

• It is now easier for women to legally wage struggle for their rights.

• Most societies across the world are now women dominated.

• Women are now treated as equals in the political arena.

Answer 1

It is now easier for women to legally wage struggle for their rights.

Explanation:

• In a democracy, equality means that everyone, including women, has the same rights and opportunities.
• When women are treated equally, it means that they have the social and legal resources to defend their rights and combat discrimination.
• Although democratic systems give women the means and space to exercise their legal and social rights, this does not imply that women rule societies or that complete equality has been achieved everywhere.
