Women are an integral part of every society and play as much role in the survival and development of humanity and society as men do. But it is general tendency of the men folk to downplay their contribution and such a tendency has been prevalent in all societies and in all ages though the degree of such a tendency varies from time to time and from society to society. This tendency has resulted in variation in the status of men and women. In fact, women seldom enjoy the status in the society as the men do and often face discrimination. “Patriarchy in social organization has been the dominant reality to define the nature of gender relations in human society that rendered it male-dominated in most parts of the world since the dawn of human civilization.” If one surveys the history, the attitudes and atmosphere of prejudice and neglect towards women have been there throughout the ages.
