"Marginalization of Women: it’s Influence on Mental Health, Well being and Productivity "

From womb to grave, in times of peace as well as war, women face discrimination at the hands of the state, community and the family. Female infanticide deprives countless women of life itself. Every year, millions of women are raped by partners, relatives, friends and strangers, by employers, colleagues and security officials. "Marginalized women" today are the focus of concern and, several of their issues are strongly debated to bring about positive changes. Reliefs, improvements and facilities for various groups of marginalized women are remarkable achievements in the progress of our present society. Several professional bodies have highlighted their efforts to support different marginalized women sectors but have also mentioned their concern about its very existence and alarming increase in the size of these sectors. Current world scenario indicates the role of various organizations in working for the cause of different sectors of marginalized woman. Has the momentous of this work shadowed the issue of "marginalization of women"?
