Women bear the brunt of almost every economic, ecological and political crisis. Even when they are not the primary care-givers of the family, they remain the first point of sacrifice. This makes every progress in gender rights, every new ease-of-life achieved, and every future prospect of women\u2019s lives extremely fragile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.womansera.com\/\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">entertainment news here<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can India\u2019s fragile gender balance weather this storm?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Women\u2019s empowerment in India is neither up to desirable levels, nor are its meagre achievements cast in stone. Rolling back women&#8217;s rights is often the most automatic reaction, and the most popular solution offered for every imaginable problem. Now put these tendencies into the framework of a massive energy crisis. You will notice more and more women getting pushed out of the mainstream and into the margins. Soon, those margins start to clog-up with stories of pain, suffering, oppressions and deprivations of all kinds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No fuel in the market? Men take the vehicles. Women stay at home. Schools, colleges, offices often lose the female demographic faster than males.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No coal for the electric power plant? Scroll to the top of the article for perspective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No cheap cooking fuel? Daughters can study less, and help their mothers a little more. It is sacred duty to help mothers after all. Granted, it is. But then, women apparently do not accumulate good karma from work outside the house, and men don\u2019t gain any from the work inside of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more:\u00a0<strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/check-out-why-did-varun-gandhi-question-yogi-government-on-agricultural-policies\/\">Check Out Why Did Varun Gandhi Question Yogi Government On Agricultural Policies?<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Potential dangers to women<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On an average, Indian women tend to spend 4-6 hours in cooking activities. If the cooking fuel is firewood, the data worsens still further. Working hours in a day stretch to as much as 17-18 hours. Such women spend close to 40 hours each month collecting and readying biomass for their households.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CB089699-A5E6-46EA-8337-91DA818C3A8C.jpeg\" alt=\"Women using kerosene lamps.\" class=\"wp-image-134346\" width=\"791\" height=\"527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CB089699-A5E6-46EA-8337-91DA818C3A8C.jpeg 678w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CB089699-A5E6-46EA-8337-91DA818C3A8C-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CB089699-A5E6-46EA-8337-91DA818C3A8C-195x130.jpeg 195w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><figcaption><em>Smoke from kerosene lamps and firewood hearths lead to most Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) deaths.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If over-exertion doesn\u2019t destroy women\u2019s health, then Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) will. Toxic fumes from kerosene lamps and gases released by burnt biomass are the biggest contributors to IAP. It kills 2 million people each year, mostly household women.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that scenario isn\u2019t bleak enough, add gender-violence into the fray. Lack of energy supply reduces the spread of the electricity grid. This in turn leads to growing patches of unlit zones. Invariably such spaces become prowling grounds for sexual offenders. Moreover, confined and home-bound women generally tend to be less forthcoming to report sexual crimes perpetrated within or outside homes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women pay for every form of energy shortage with their time, health, safety and with their educational, professional and entrepreneurial opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Gender-Balancing the solutions to India\u2019s immediate energy crisis issues<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/90E38443-40DE-4B19-85A9-72F5C97C3D1B.jpeg\" alt=\"Empowered women.\" class=\"wp-image-134350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/90E38443-40DE-4B19-85A9-72F5C97C3D1B.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/90E38443-40DE-4B19-85A9-72F5C97C3D1B-300x204.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s evidently crisis-time in India. But then, it\u2019s also an opportunity to turn over a new leaf in our policy making processes. Policy-making everywhere in the world is dominated primarily by economic concerns, not social ones. Till date the first questions at the policy table are: What does the economy need? What do our industries need? What do our cities need? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, India\u2019s policy-making tables in the government and in private institutions are dangerously unequal. Caste, class, religion, and gender imbalances plague every space from corporate boardrooms to parliament halls. Incorporation of marginal voices remains slow and faces considerable resistance. No wonder modern energy resources are slow to reach the last person in the line. The shortages though, are quick to hit that last person the hardest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Energy is a highly gendered sector in practice, but is rarely ever so in its planning. Women often tend to have their finger on the pulse of every section of society. Incorporating women from all walks of society is an excellent way to ascertain the average population\u2019s energy needs and hassles. Women after all, are intimately and actively connected to the private lives of the sections they come from. Their inputs will help to expand the reach and benefits of modern energy resources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gender-balanced energy planning has the potential to promote a doubly productive economy. After all, women comprise half of the human demographic. Emancipating women from the confines of fear, inability, latent biases, burdens and restrictions, is bound to create an exuberant economy. If all this doesn\u2019t qualify as good economics, I don\u2019t know what else does. <br><br>Hopefully we see good sense and progressive policy making before the light goes out again.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coal, fuel and electricity are running short and getting dearer in India and the world.
