Women Empowerment in India : A Myth or a Reality ?
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
At the present time, India is fast emerging as a modern democratic country and also a global power, but still the women across the country struggle to live life with dignity in different ways. That’s why women empowerment has become an important issue in India today. Women, irrespective of their class, caste, educational and economic status, are not safe in the modern Indian society.It can’t be denied that the existing gender – inequality in Indian society and the long run supremacy of male over female in all respect in the patriarchal society in India are highly responsible for obstructing the empowerment and development of women. In spite of constitutional and legal safeguards, the women in India continue to suffer, due to oppressive social practices and customs and lack of proper education, awareness of their rights, socio-economic security.Nevertheless, in the modern times, both the Central and State government have taken important role to protect the women’s rights, specifically, to ensure education, employment and security of the women. Indeed, women empowerment can be achieved not only by improving the social, economic and political strength of women, but also by raising and developing their self-strength.
