India is witnessing a marked fall in the number of women involved in the workforce. The female labour force participation fell from 34.8 percent in 1990 to 27 percent in 2013, according to an IndiaSpend report. The report further adds that in South Asia, India had the lowest rate of women employment after Pakistan in 2013 (Source: World Bank Report, April 2017).
To pursue the profession of their choice involves several battles for many women. Add to it obstacles like stalking and harassment, and the situation seems even bleaker.
