Women Empowerment
Journal Title: International Journal of Scientific Research and Management - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
India with its diversity and rich heritage has an ugly side to it. If women have been worshipped as Goddess, there has been ―Sati‖ too. Though the situation has improved but some facts (education rate, sexual harassment among others) are daunting. Many women have broken the barriers and we would still witness a lot more. To help women is to help society, as Jawaharlal Nehru said ―You can tell the condition of a nation by looking a t the status of its women‖. Through the journey of women empowerment our nation will achieve its dream. This paper attempts to analyze the status of women empowerment in India and highlights the issues, government schemes, challenges of women empowerment. The study is based purely from secondary sources. The study reveals that women of India are relatively disempowered and they enjoy somewhat lower status than that of men in spite of many efforts undertaken by government. The study concludes by an observa tion that access to education, employment and change in social structure are only the enabling factor to women empowerment.
