Report from Alappuzha puts that compared to men, women are the neglected lot. When a man undergoes vasectomy operation in a community health centre he is paid Rupees 1100 as incentive where as a woman gets only Rs 600 for a similar surgery. Does its mean that man is more hazardous than woman in the procreation process?
Interestingly man need only one day rest after operation whereas woman needs complete rest for one week or more. So it is imperative to enhance the incentive for woman seven times that of a man. And if any women outfit demands equality between man and woman then they should be paid equally. Remember that the government is not left with innumerable options to show its firmness in establishing gender equality.
