Empowering Minority Muslim Girls
BHIWANDI
Bhiwandi's rapid growth is characterized by an influx of male Muslim migrants from various parts of India, drawn to work in its power loom industry despite facing challenging living and working conditions. The city manifests clear indicators of a developmental crisis, evidenced by its low literacy rate (79.48%) and skewed sex ratio (709 females/1000 males). With a majority Muslim population (56%) experiencing high levels of deprivation, access to essential urban services like water, sanitation, and energy remains poor. Additionally, there are pronounced digital disparities, particularly among Muslim women, elderly individuals, and migrant workers. In 2011, approximately 20% of the population in the Bhiwandi-Nizampur Municipal Corporation area was illiterate, while 42.43% resided in slums. Despite advancements in technology, functional literacy and digital proficiency remain limited, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive intervention and support.
