Abstract

South Asian women and their status is being assessed here to highlight the similarities in the conditions faced by women despite the diversities stemming from class, religion, culture and locality. This assessment is undertaken on the basis of a select set of quantitative indicators regarding their work, survival, health, education and political participation. The issues considered here to highlight the gender inequalities that constrain women from their legitimate claims to participate in and benefit from development in South Asian countries are limited by the availability of data, quantifiability and comparability across countries.
