female literacy

The vast majority of women across the globe ae illiterate.In Asia and Africa,the girl child is considered a liability and abortion of the female foetus and female infanticide is quite common.The sex-ratio is dangerously distorted in India.In many parts of India,women are turning to prostitution to support their families.Women's education is not a priority for a family and women have to remain content with left-overs.
Governments in S.Asia,while paying lip service to women's empoerment are doing very little on the ground.It is only the judiciary and some private initiative who are trying to improve the lot of women.Society still remains indifferent towards women.
Female literacy is the key to prosperity in the poor parts of the world.The traditional approach of sending girls to school has failed because of lack of qualified teachers and a faulty curriculum.An innovative approach is needed to address this serious issue.A user-friendly internet could revolutionize the lives of billions of women across the world.Voice enabled mobiles and computers could allow women to discover a new world and unleash their dormant energies.
