Introduction ✍✍✍✍

Empowerment can be viewed as means of creating a social environment in which one can make decisions and
make choices either individually or collectively for social transformation. The empowerment strengthens the
innate ability by way of acquiring knowledge, power and experience (Hashemi Schuler and Riley, 1996).
Empowerment is the process of enabling or authorizing individual to think, take action and control work in an
autonomous way. It is the process by which one can gain control over one’s destiny and the circumstances of
one’s lives. There are always a number of elements in the society which are deprived of their basic rights in
every society, state and nation, but these elements lack in the awareness of their rights. If we enlist such elements
from the society, then women would top this list. In fact, women are the most important factor of every society.
Even though everybody is aware of this fact, but nobody is ready to accept this fact. As a result, the importance
which used to be given to women is declining in today's society. As a consequence of this growing tendency of
underestimating women such as to make them occupy a secondary position in society and to deprive them of
their basic rights, the need for empowering women was felt. . Empowering women has become the focus of
considerable discussion and attention all over the world. Today we enjoy the benefits of being citizens of a free
nation, but we really need to think whether each of the citizens of our country is really free or enjoying freedom,
in the true sense of the term. The inequalities between men and women and discrimination against women are an
age-old issue all over the world. Thus women quest for equality with man is a universal phenomenon. Women
should equal with men in matters of education, employment, inheritance, marriage, and politics etc. Their quest
for equality has given birth to the formation of many women’s associations and launching of movements. The
Constitution of our nation doesn't discriminate between men and women, but our society has deprived women of
certain basic rights, which were bestowed upon them by our Constitution. Empowerment allows individuals to
reach their full potential, to improve their political and social participation, and to believe in their own
capabilities.
