In theory, women have equal rights to men, regardless of gender. There are also a number of government regulations and programmes aimed at promoting gender equality. Gender inequality can also be evident in the sectors of education, work, social conventions, and general public opinion. In Indian society, being born a woman means facing gender discrimination on all levels. In India, the preference for sons and aversion to daughters is a well-known phenomenon. Sons are regarded as assets in terms of economics, social status, and ritual, but daughters are regarded as liabilities. The boy child is given a formal greeting, but the girl child is not. To get rid of this undesirable presence, they use sex determination tests, female foeticide, and abortions.
