 INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
• Women's empowerment is the process
of empowering women. It may be defined in several
ways, including accepting women's viewpoints or
making an effort to seek them, raising the status of
women through education, awareness, literacy, and
training. Women's empowerment equips and allows
women to make life-determining decisions through
the different problems in society. They may have the
opportunity to redefine gender roles or other such
roles, which in turn may allow them more freedom
to pursue desired goals.
 Women empowerment
➢ Media and NGOs should raise awareness about women rights.
➢ Policy action should be taken to reduce gender inequality.
➢ Women should be provided with the education and job opportunities.

encouraged and their skills are developed.
➢ Women should have the right to own their property.
➢ Women must have simple business registration procedures.

➢ Women should have access to economic resources which leads to the
economic growth.

Review of literature
The Beijing Declaration (Section 13) considers the empowerment
of women as the sin qua non of social political and economic development in
any given nation:
Women's empowerment and their full participation on the basis
of equality in all spheres of society, including participation in the decision
making process to power, are fundamental for the achievement of equality,
development and space (Fourth World Conference on Women 4).
In the past scholars believed that women's empowerment was
enhanced by encouraging financial institutions to extend lines of credit to
women (Agha, 2000; Kishore, 1997; Hashemi et al 1996). Educated women
have the capacity to fight against cultural practices that condemn women to
oppressed position in society (Murphy and Graham, 2008). Women who are
highly educated gain more access to knowledge, information and new ideas
(Maslak and Singhal, 2008). Therefore the human development perspective
relates women's empowerment to cultural practices of capacity building
through education, training and development (Inglehart and Norris, 2003;
Inglehart and Wezel, 2005
 Impact in the 21st century
• In the 21st century, the world is enthusiastically
progressing and taking up the women partake in
uplifting the society and economy of the world.
Women empowerment is the key to strengthen their
participation in the decision- making which is the most
important key to socio- economic development. The
India is a developing country and its economic status is
also very bad because of the male dominated country.
Women constitute roughly 50% of the nation’s
population and a majority of them remain
economically dependent, without employment.
Women empowerment is very necessary to make the
bright future of the family, society and country.
The Historical Legacies Perspective
The historical legacies perspective considers the role of
government, quasi-governmental bodies and non-governmental institutions
as being critical to the empowerment of women in society. According to Najm
(2013), government has a duty in developing social, political and economic
programs that empower women. Rahman and Sultana (2012) suggest that
non-governmental organizations should come up with projects that give
women the power to make decisions that influence positive change on their
lives. Women who are allowed to participate in government managed
projects have access to resources which they can use to alleviate poverty in
their families (Khan and Bibi, 2011). Scholars worldwide argue that the
modern state is characterized by the secularization of the publics and this
trend has enabled women to free themselves from the oppressive nature of
the church and the family, to the extent that greater emphasis is now placed
on rationality and individualism (Inglehart and Norris, 2003; Inglehart and
Wezel, 2005; Rule, 1981; Ken worthy and Malami, 1999
