Globally renowned for its culture and heritage, India is a country filled with diverse

cultures. But the Indian society has always been a patriarchal one which is why
women have been continuously denied basic human rights such as education and
equality. They have always been suppressed and limited to domesticity and
restrained from getting basic education. The notion of gender equality demands
parity between males and females but women have been kept oblivious of their
rights. For a country like India, women empowerment will be a greater role in its
growth and development.

In both biological and moral context, women possess greater abilities to shape the
future and development of a family as well as society as a whole. Thus, equal
opportunities should be given every women to help them fully grow as an individual
and make their own choices. 

Women empowerment encompasses more than just ensuring that women get their
basic rights. In its truest form, women empowerment comprises the aspects of
independence, equality as well as freedom of expression. Through this, the real strive
lies in ensuring that we bring gender equality.

When given the right support, women have shone brilliantly in every field. Even in
India, we have seen women handle diverse roles, be it a Prime Minister, Astronaut,
Entrepreneur, Banker and much more. Further, women are also considered the
backbone of a family. From domestic chores to nurturing children, they handle
multiple responsibilities. This is why they are great at multitasking and often many
working women efficiently juggle between professional and personal responsibilities.
While the urban cities have working women, the rural areas have still restrained them
to household chores. How can we aspire to prosper as a nation where every girl does
not get the access to education or making their own choices? India is a country where
we worship goddesses while we don’t bother thinking about gender equality. 

Hence, for all our mothers, sisters and daughters we must aim at creating an
environment of integrity. We must boost their confidence to make them capable
enough to take their decisions in every phase of life and this is how we can strive
towards bringing women empowerment.
