Women Rights and Welfare Schemes

By Dr. Trupti Singh

What does it truly mean to be a woman in India—past, present, and future? Women Rights and Welfare Schemes is both a mirror and a guide, tracing the journey of women from ancient respect to medieval suppression, colonial reform, and post-independence empowerment. Dr. Trupti Singh offers a deeply researched yet accessible account of women’s struggles and the policies designed to uplift them. Covering critical issues such as gender discrimination, domestic violence, dowry, property rights, and child marriage, the book explores how legal frameworks and welfare schemes have sought to close centuries-old gaps. Readers will discover how the Indian Constitution, protective laws, and social reforms intersect with lived realities—often clashing with cultural traditions, yet paving paths to empowerment. From grassroots activism to rights of sex workers, women’s role in family, education, health, and development, this book empowers readers to see the bigger picture: women’s rights are not charity—they are justice. Perfect for students, social workers, policy makers, and anyone committed to equality, this work inspires both understanding and action.
