A Study on Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality in India

-

Abstract

The right of all people to live with integrity and independence is equality between men and women, irrespective of their gender. Equity for men and women is indeed a precondition for all round growth and poverty reduction. Empowered women offer an inestimable commitment to changing wellness, schooling and economic outcomes and the potential prosperity of entire populations and societies. The Millennium Development Target stresses equity for men and women and emancipation. Equity between the sexes and inspiring women are also generally acknowledged to be the cornerstones of growth success. In keeping with the role and the determinants of women's empowerment in India, this paper aims to highlight some of the main determinants of inequality in India in order to get an understanding of the potential of women.
