The research questions this essay will attempt to answer are, how are women's human rights being violated, and how does it affect the women in India? How does gender affect Indian society and the female population? The theories used in the research are gender studies and The Universal Declaration on Human Rights. The findings in the essay can be concluded that violation according to the declaration is present in India, but not to the extent anticipated. Gender has a contributing factor to the women's situation in India. However, the degree to which it influences the female population depends on what aspects are the focus of the studied country. Gender inequality is not the only contributing factor to the situation in India.
