Acharya Prashant highlights the alarming status of women's safety and health in India, citing the Global Gender Gap Index where India ranked 146th out of 146 countries in health and survival. He points out that India has moved from the third to the first position among the world's most dangerous countries for women, surpassing even Afghanistan and Syria. He emphasizes that the greatest threat to girls often comes from within their own families and homes rather than from outside. This systemic violence is rooted in cultural norms where women are expected to serve others first, leading to severe neglect of their nutrition and medical needs. He argues that the devaluation of women is deeply embedded in societal traditions and superstitions, which he distinguishes from true spirituality. Despite advancements in technology and education, practices like female foeticide have increased because the inner consciousness has not evolved alongside external knowledge. Acharya Prashant criticizes the notion of 'family honor' being placed solely on a girl's body, which leads to her suppression. He notes that women often internalize this hatred due to patriarchal conditioning, becoming participants in their own oppression. He concludes that only true spirituality can address this crisis, urging women to pursue higher, more meaningful work to gain genuine security and respect.
