Status of women in The Dangs  has been  discussed in this article with  respect to its sex ratio, gender gaps in literacy rate, work participation rate , women involvement  in self help groups, etc. The Dangs has the credit of having a high juvenile sex ratio while this district has a highly favorable Female Male Ratio too. Even if remarkable improvement in literacy level of both male and female is recorded during the last decade and the pace of this rise is more noticeable among females, large gender gaps still exists among males and females in case of literacy level.There is a big decline in female work participation rate  in case of main work in The Dangs while there is an increase in  availability of marginal work to women which leads to low economic status of women over a period of time.  Participation of women in self help groups is comparatively high in the Dangs.
