Abstract
Women play significant role in the governance and development of the Nation. The role of women in governance not only to improve their status but also to strength the women empowerment. Women are the part of project planning, implementation, monitoring and maintenance but they are not effectively participating in theses aspects, because they are not aware about their empowerment, their social and political rights and the function of urban governance. The urban governance (urban local bodies) cannot be strengthened without the participation of women representatives. So it is very significant to study the empowerment of women through urban governance.

The main objective of the paper is the empowerment of women representatives through urban local bodies and what kind of problems and obstacle faced by women representatives in urban governance related to their empowerment.
