Study of Women in 21 Century with Religious Perspective

The place of women in society varies greatly across the globe. Religion, which itself must be seen as a fluid term with interpretations and practices that are "embedded" and so alter with respect to cultural and historical links, is one of several significant characteristics linked to the differentiation of gender inequality. Despite the intricacy of the issues, some religious traditions and norms have the potential to exacerbate gender inequality and diminish the status of women in society. The impact of religion on gender disparity in the social, economic, and political realms is investigated using an exploratory quantitative methodology. One of the key elements that helped bring the old traditional ways into modern society is religion. The goal of this study is to determine how adults' attitudes towards women are influenced by their religious beliefs.100 adults from Periyar University in Salem were chosen at random to make up the study's sample. The religiosity and spirituality measure by Hernandez (2011) and the attitude towards women by Spence, Hemrich, and Stapp (1978) were used to gather the data. The outcome demonstrates a significant positive association between religious belief and attitude towards women. The person with higher religious convictions exhibits a more traditional attitude towards women, while the one with lower religious convictions exhibits an egalitarian approach. The way men and women view women is the same. Compared to metropolitan people, rural people exhibit a more conservative attitude towards women.
