In many areas women still remain disadvantaged and behind the men. All the constitutional provisions and laws don’t seem to be implemented and remain on paper only. In house also women face gender discrimination at every stage. The status of women’s got all the way right down to a decent extent. Women are considered within the society only to perform duties like children, caring every one, and other household activities. There’s old and traditional faith of people coming out for years that men are for thy field whereas women are only for the house. A thorough examination of the status of women’s in society shows that gender inequality prevails in one form or other throughout the planet. Women who are working for cash don’t have control on their earning. Although the participation of women’s in the paid workforce and feminine enrollment in education has increased considerably over the last years, gender disparities still exist in the majority the countries in the world. Education and employment gives the access to resources but not sufficient to extend level of autonomy to women. Increased enrolment of women’s in education has helped to boost literacy rate of women’s but the declining child sex ratio and increasing rate against women may be a serious concern. An outsized number of women’s are denied the upper education on the explanations of traditions and her physical safety. This shows that, empowerment of women’s only by access to resources or development cannot bring empowerment on totality. Therefore, to see gender equality, there’s need for the empowerment of women’s in society. Empowerment could also be a replacement term within the realm of women’s development and various approaches and strategic measures for the empowerment of women are being allotted in India. They’re economically dependent and vulnerable, politically and legally powerless. Power itself are going to be simply defined as control over resources and control of ideology and it’s exercised through a series of orders or deciding capacity. The concept of empowerment refers to a range of activities from individual self-realization and self-assertion to participation or involvement in projects in an exceedingly very functional sense to the control over decision regarding all aspects of one’s life and livelihood. However Women empowerment may be meaningful only if a women starts getting equal status within the family and ready to raise her voice against any type of subordinate status imposed on her. This can make her capable to require decisions to enhance her socio-economic status and also fight for other women within the society.
