INTRODUCTION: Gender equality is fundamental to accelerate sustainable
development. It is necessary to conduct gender analyses to identify sex and
gender-based differences in health risks. This study aimed to find the gender
equality in terms of illiteracy, child marriages and spousal violence among women
based on data from National Family Health Survey 2015-16 (NFHS-4). METHODS: This
was a descriptive analysis of secondary data of ever-married women onto
reproductive age from 15 states and 3 UTs in India of the first phase of NFHS-4.
Gender gap related to literacy and child marriage among urban and rural area was
compared. RESULTS: In rural area all states except Meghalaya and Sikkim had the
significantly higher percentage of women's illiteracy as compared to male. Bihar
and Madhya Pradesh had higher illiterate women, 53.7% and 48.6% as compared to
male, 24.7% and 21.5% respectively (P < 0.000). Child marriages were found to be
significantly higher in rural areas as compared to urban areas in four most
populated states. CONCLUSION: There is a gender gap between illiteracy with women
more affected in rural areas with higher prevalence of child marriages and poor
utilization of maternal health services. Also, violence against women is showing
an upward trend with declining sex-ratio at birth.
