Women in India face several challenges in accessing higher education, including socio-economic barriers, cultural norms, and safety concerns. Economic limitations often prevent families from prioritizing women's education, especially in rural areas. Traditional gender roles can also restrict mobility, leading to early marriages or domestic responsibilities that hinder educational pursuits. Additionally, societal pressure and inadequate infrastructure, such as lack of safe transport and sanitation facilities, can deter women from pursuing higher studies. Efforts to promote awareness, provide scholarships, and improve infrastructure are essential to overcome these challenges and empower women in education.
