Women are discriminated against in many societies which are patriarchal essentially in nature. The reasons are social, cultural and economic. Some religions including cultural beliefs consider that women are subordinate to men and this percolates to the children within the family consciously and subconsciously through the process of socialization.

India is traditionally a patriarchal society where male domination is immense and women are under social control till the time of their birth to their birth.
