આંતરરાષ્ટ્રીય મહિલા દિવસ આઠમી માર્ચને નિમિત્તે રાષ્ટ્રીય અને આંતરરાષ્ટ્રીય સ્તરે મહિલાઓની સ્થિતિ-પરિસ્થિતિ વિષે ચર્ચા-ચિંતન થાય છે. ભારતમાં છેલ્લાં દસ વર્ષોમાં લગભગ તમામ ક્ષેત્રે પરિવર્તન અને સુધાર જોઈઅનુભવી શકાય એવી સ્થિતિ છે. મહિલા સશક્તિકરણના ક્ષેત્રે પણ આવી પરિવર્તનની સ્થિતિ પ્રવર્તે છે. અલબત્ત, સરકારના દાવાઓ સાથે સંપૂર્ણ સંમત ન થઈએ તો પણ કેટલાંક પરિવર્તનો જોઈ-અનુભવી શકાય એવાં છે. ૨૦૨૨ની સાલથી વડાપ્રધાન જેને ભારતનો અમૃતકાળ કહે છે, એ કાળમાં ભારતીય મહિલાઓ માટે પણ અમૃતકાળનો આરંભ થઈ ચૂક્યો છે. શિક્ષણ, વ્યવસાય, કારકિર્દીનાં ક્ષેત્રોમાં ભારતીય મહિલાઓ માટે વિરાટ સંભાવનાઓ સર્જાઈ છે. એટલું જ નહીં, પ્રતિભાશાળી મહિલાઓ ઉપલબ્ધ અવસરનો બરાબર લાભ ઉઠાવી રહી છે.&nbsp;સંરક્ષણ અને અંતિરક્ષ વિજ્ઞાન જેવાં ક્ષેત્રોમાં ભારતીય મહિલાઓ હવે અગ્ર હરોળમાં&nbsp;સ્થાન મેળવીને નેતૃત્વ સંભાળવા સહિતની મહત્ત્વની ભૂમિકા ભજવી રહી છે. કોર્પોરેટ કંપનીઓ અને ઉદ્યોગ સમૂહોના બોર્ડમાં સ્થાન મેળવીને નિર્ણાયક ભૂમિકા ભજવે છે. સૈન્યની ત્રણેય પાંખોમાં મહિલાઓની ભૂમિકા પુરુષ સમકક્ષ બની છે. ક્યાંક સરકારી નીતિઓને કારણે તો ક્યાંક અદાલતના નિર્ણયને પગલે ભારતીય મહિલાઓ માટે અવસરના નવા દ્વાર ખૂલ્યા છે. આર્થિક અને સામાજિક ક્ષેત્રે ગ્રામ્ય વિસ્તારોમાં શૌચાલયો, જનધન બેંક એકાઉન્ટ, નળ દ્વારા જળ, ઉજ્વલા યોજના જેવી યોજનાઓ પ્રત્યક્ષ રીતે મહિલાઓ માટે લાભદાયક છે. સરકારી યોજનાઓનું આવું કાર્યક્ષમ ક્રિયાન્વયન આ પહેલાં ક્યારેય જોવા મળ્યું નથી. જમ્મુ-કાશ્મીરમાં કલમ૩૭૦ની નાબૂદી સાથે ત્યાં મહિલાઓના અધિકારની બાબતમાં જે ભેદભાવની સ્થિતિ હતી તે નાબૂદ થઈ છે. હવે ત્યાંની સ્ત્રી રાજ્ય બહાર લગ્ન કરે તો પણ તેનો મિલકતનો અધિકાર યથાવત્ રહે છે. ત્રણ તલાક નાબૂદીને પગલે મુસ્લિમ મહિલાઓ જે રાહત અનુભવી રહી છે, એ અવર્ણનીય છે. એ&nbsp;જ રીતે હજયાત્રાએ જવા માટે પણ એકલી મુસ્લિમ મહિલા સક્ષમ બની છે. કહેવા માટે સામાન્ય ગણાય એવી આવી અસંખ્ય બાબતો મહિલાઓના જીવનમાં મોટા પરિવર્તન અને આત્મવિશ્વાસનું કારણ બની શકે છે. તેની પારિવારિક અને સામાજિક અસરોનું સંપૂર્ણ મૂલ્યાંકન થવાનું બાકી છે. પી.એમ. આવાસ યોજનામાં હવે મહિલાઓના નામે મકાનોના રજિસ્ટ્રેશનની સંખ્યા પણ વધી છે. સેલ્ફ હેલ્પ ગ્રૂપના માધ્યમથી મહિલાઓ જે પ્રવૃત્તિ કરી રહી છે એ તેમને આત્મ નિર્ભર બનાવવામાં મહત્ત્વની ભૂમિકા ભજવે છે.
કેન્દ્ર સરકાર દ્વારા સંસદ અને વિધાનસભાઓમાં ૩૩ ટકા અનામતની જોગવાઈ કરતું વિધેયક પસાર થઈ જતાં તેનો જ્યારે અમલ થશે ત્યારે રાજનીતિ અને જાહેર જીવનમાં મહિલાઓની ભૂમિકા જે નિર્ણાયક સ્થિતિ ધારણ કરશે તેની અત્યારે કોઈ કલ્પના કરી શકે તેમ નથી. ભારતના અમૃતકાળ માં જ આ બધું થવા જઈ રહ્યું છે. ભારતીય મહિલાઓએ ભવિષ્યની અપાર સંભાવનાઓ માટે પોતાને સજ્જ કરવાની છે. એકવીસમી સદીનાં વર્ષો જેમ-જેમ પસાર થતાં જશે તેમ-તેમ મહિલાઓ તમામ ક્ષેત્રે નિર્ણાયક ભૂમિકા ભજવતી જોવા મળશે.
અલબત્ત, આ ઉજ્જવળ ચિત્રની સમીપે જ ભારતીય નારીની દુર્દશાનું સમાંતર ચિત્ર પણ એટલું જ ભયાનક છે. પશ્ચિમ બંગાળના સંદેશખલીની ઘટનાએ તેનો સાક્ષાત્કાર કરાવ્યો છે. માસૂમ યુવતીને પ્રેમજાળમાં ફસાવીને તેની હત્યા પછી તેના દેહના ટુકડા કરવાની ઘટનાઓ પણ આપણે નિહાળી છે. ગત સપ્તાહે જ ઝારખંડમાં સ્પેનિશ પ્રવાસી મહિલા પર ગેંગરેપની ઘટનાએ એવો જ આઘાત આપ્યો છે. કામના સ્થળે મહિલાઓના જાતીય શોષણનો અંત આવ્યો નથી. મહિલા ઓ પ્રત્યે જોવાની પુરુષ દૃષ્ટિમાં અપેક્ષિત પરિવર્તન આવ્યું નથી. દહેજ માટેના અત્યાચાર બંધ થયા નથી. આ બધું જ ભારતીય નારીના વિષકાળની સમાંતર રીતે હયાતીને દર્શાવે છે. તેને ખતમ કરવા માટે હજુ લાંબી મજલ કાપવાની છે. આ અંકમાં તેની અભિવ્યક્તિ જોઈ શકાશે.
