Education- A Key Facet of Women Empowerment or Not
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Empowerment connotes the ability to change one’s own life and community. Though ‘Empowerment’ is frequently used word it is difficult to define and harder to measure, the word’s meaning has become almost lost with overuse. Education is generally considered as a path to women empowerment. It has both positive and negative outcomes. Though literacy rate and educational attainments of women have shown an upward trend, other indicators like declining child sex ratio, low work participation rate and increasing violence against women and low political participation gives a gloomy picture. Majority of the educated women are prone to the ill-effects leading to social adversities. So it is necessary to sharpen education as an emancipating and empowering tool.
