ABSTRACT

                          “You can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women”
– Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru

Why we talk about women empowerment only and not men empowerment? Why women need empowerment and not men? Women make almost 50% of the total population of the world. Then why this substantial section of the society needs empowerment? They are not in minority so as to require special treatment. Biologically speaking also, it is a proven fact that female race is superior to male. Then the question arises that why we are debating the topic ‘Women Empowerment’.

Key Words: Women Empowerment, Education, Health, Socio-Economic Status. Crimes against women, Policy implications.
