India: A Country that Doesn't Like Women

It is not easy being a woman in India; from birth to death discrimination and violence blight many of their lives due to an accident of birth. This beautiful and touching film explores womens place in today’s India.
Starting with the village in Rajasthan where female infanticide is a tradition. Few dare to stand up to the men of this village who dictate that baby girls are too expensive and openly admit they don’t want women to be educated for fear of losing their power. The girls that survive childhood will often fall victim to domestic violence, we meet with one such woman back with her parents after escaping her abusive husband. Her family however is keen for her to reconcile with him as her presence brings them shame. The women who dare to stay single and go out at night unaccompanied are at risk of being raped and have very little chance of getting justice as the police often believe that her behaviour means she wanted it to happen. Lastly there are the widows, cast out from their families when their husbands die, with no one to look after them they survive by begging in the streets.

[@mcrose9067]

​@kofoblue3172 because it isn't just the dowery, it's the fact that this culture does not value women. There has to be a cultural change and sadly it won't be the women that get this change, it will have to come from the men. Until the men change how the value women it will always be like that.

When his parents came over from India they joined i beating the wife as did the daughters. She just took it, crying quietly. It was neighbours who called police and the guy was arrested. The police urged his wife to leave him but she refused and said she would never leave him no matter what. In the end he was planning on taking the family back to India where he could beat his wife and kids to his hearts content.

[@Concerned_one]

The problem is not about being male dominated. The problem is with men who are sex addicts and creeps that don’t know how to treat a lady. Most Indian men don’t think women are inferior either, they just believe that men and women have their respective gender roles that makes them complement each other. Old women praising their sons and husbands aren’t the problem. You acknowledge that there is a problem but you can’t really pinpoint where exactly the problem problem comes from.

Even here in the US, Indian immigrants do the same. I knew an Indian lady, her and her family were wealthy, good jobs. She had 2 sons. When she was pregnant with her 3rd child and the ultrasound showed that it is a gaby girl, the husband and his family forced her to have an abortion. 😢 Horrible culture snd custom.

The same thing happens in all cultures around the world, sadly. Including among white European Americans. My hope is to end gender motivated violence. The culture of misogyny is disgusting and has infected every corner of this planet.

[@antinatalist9995]

That's why some hospitals stopped informing of the sex of the foetus during scans; not sure how childhood would be for those unwanted girls though- I don't know how giving the baby girls up for adoption would be viewed. It seems the social status of the extended family comes before the rights and happiness of individuals in collectivist cultures. The implication of social stigma and being shunned must be great; you don't bring izzat on the family.

[@SuperCOCOPANDA]

It's the same in the West. When western women want to have sex for recreation and for fun it's considered 'women's rights' for them to choose abortion so that she can 'live her life', whereas, if someone coming from a less developed country does it, it's considered murder and infanticide.

Documentaries like this are very important. They show how people are forced to live in barbarity while not necessarily being barbaric themselves. Its a system that is setup that traps them, and pretending it doesn't exist just to be accepting is so dangerous.
