	Description:		Data shows that while 45% of India's graduates are women, just about 10% of educated women in the country pursue long-term careers. But not all is wrong. On Monday, in one such battle a young mother from Himachal Pradesh was fighting in the Supreme Court to be with her child who needed her, the Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said the participation of women in the workforce is a constitutional entitlement and denying mothers child care leaves violates that. The mother in question was an assistant professor in a government college and said that the Himachal Pradesh government denied her child care leaves. Her child suffers from a genetic condition. The Supreme Court, in a welcome intervention, pointed out that the state, as a model employer, cannot be oblivious to such concerns.
