Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 8

Abstract

Women empowerment refers to increasing the educational, economic, political and social empowerment strength of individuals and communities of women. Empowering women and making them to be involved in all the development initiatives is necessary for the development of any country. Nations that prioritize women’s health will likely have better population health overall, and will remain more productive for generations to come. Present paper aims to highlight the adoptable measures for women empowerment which leads to an improvement in the health status of an individual, group, or community. Authors of this paper strongly believe that a sincere effort is needed to remove the obstacles to the path of women’s emancipation, from government, society, family and women themselves. Hence, we conclude that strong commitment from the government and other agencies is needed to empower women and utilize all the potentials of the women to build a healthy society.
