According to recent data from the International Monetary Fund, women’s full economic participation would add as much as 13 percent to India’s per capita income. When women are guaranteed access to education and opportunity, they are able to make better choices for themselves and their families; their children are healthier; they live longer; and they are accepted and participate as full members of their communities. When women are empowered to move forward, they bring the rest of society with them.
