Abstract: Women are the pioneers of nation. Indian culture attaches great importance to women, comprising half of world’s population.
Women are the key to sustainable development and quality of life in the family. The varieties of role the women assume in the family are those of wife, leader, administrator, manager of family income and last but not the least the mother.
Why there is gender discrimination in household duties? Why it is only the duty of women? When it comes to doing household duties, in the majority of Indian households the task still falls on the women folks. From Ancient Period We all know that all house chores done by women only. This practice is still following by women. In current scenario we are giving freedom of education, freedom of speech, freedom of attire, freedom of expression. Since women have freedom of everything but house chore is the activity of women only. We have removed illiteracy from women, we are giving all freedom to them but still they are suffering from so many problems as well as they play dual role in their life. Now they are also participating in economic activities in their family. Hence, they are doing all the activities whether it is house chores, giving birth to child and taking care of child as well teaching them good and bad things, norms, and values of the society. Even elders are also suggesting to their granddaughters that they have to learn household activities from their maternal houses because after marriage they have to look in to these activities. Why only girl has to learn house core activities? Why boy is not responsible for house core activities? So, by this study I want to aware people regarding gender discrimination in household activities. Only woman is not responsible for this. If both male and female work together and equally participate in all the activities then they can reach high and they can fulfill all their needs in batter way. They also can scamper their life smoothly; they can spend time with their family.
Keywords: Woman, Household, Freedom, Gender discrimination.
