Read the passage given below, and answer the question that follow based on your understanding of the passage from Question No. 71 to 75:
Women empowerment has become a prime concern all over the world due to the growing tendencies of victimizing women and committing social crimes on them. As they are weak, destitute and rescue prone they need it. This situation is grave and formidable, where the women are poor and illiterate. Thus, the only remedy to over come these horrible malpractice is to make them literate, by providing them education at any cost through both formal and informal system.

Through proper education training and social as well as economic rehabilitation the women empowerment is possible. In fact, it is often said that female access to education can be improved through physical proximity to the school system. But a study conducted by the women studies development in twenty two universities of the country has stated that this is not an important reason for entry into the schools.
