women's empowerment

Well, taking into the account of women’s empowerment the first and the basic concept to understand the topic lies in the fact of understanding the word empowerment. Whereas the people of the world are coruscating with the different types of electrical gadgets, one part of the society is still lingering over those blessed technologies. The word empowerment refers to the control of their life by their own will. Looking back into the making of the world, we will drew out the contour that women were those parts of the society which were considered as the backbone of world, by the world and for the world. From the pages of history, we can see that women had played a vital role at each step of life let call it as a good daughter, a good sister, a lifetime partner, as mother and above all a good manager. The women’s prodigy is quite heck to decipher but still by the virtue of their skill one can tell that women’s are those part of society without which the life on earth is beyond imagination. In nutshell, one can say that life begins from women.

Looking back into the pages of history we will find the out the names of those women who had devoted their full life working for the sake of their nation and for the sake of their family. One from the many others is the queen of Jhansi RANI LAXMIBAI, the famous protagonist who made her name immortal and her name now reflects within the pages of history. She not only played the role of a good daughter, a student, a wife but also showed the bravery of being a well-known leader. She gave the lesson that women are not the filthy soles of men. If they can play the role of a live giver then they can also play the role of a life destroyer.

Just a brief account of that women’s icon will add an interest to our understanding the topic. She never ever has thought to dwell their life under the slavery. She gave the lesson that if girls make their mind to do something then no other power can stop them by achieving their target. In addition, yes! One can see the difference, the name of the Indian first IPS OFFICIER, KIREN BEDI, yet another icon among the Indian youth. These all example underlying in the history proves that women are no more under the filthy soles of men.

Nevertheless, unfortunately these are the one side of the coin.

Being into the account of penury women’s are thought that they are contributing their hand in the deterioration of the nation’s progress. They are responsible for the birth rate. However, these are not the case in reality.  Of the 1.3 billion people who live in absolute poverty around the globe, 70 percent are women. For these women, poverty does not just mean scarcity and want. It means rights denied, opportunities curtailed and voices silenced.

If India reckoned a force today across the globe, it owns to be fact that people from all sections of society have contributed immensely to its development after it got independence in 1947. A resurgent India owes as much too dauntless men of substance as to excellent unwavering women, who collectively tried to put their best of efforts for the betterment of their motherland. Moreover, among them it will be worth if we will not mention the name of Dr. Swati Piramal who deserves the special mention in the list of such luminaries followed by the first Indian president Dr. Pratibha Patil.

In comparison to the benefits that the other part of the society is enjoying, the fragment needs a special attention.  A brief description of those irrelevant facets of those fragment are hereunder:

1.       Women earn only 10 percent of the world’s income. Where women work for money, they may be limited to a set of jobs deemed suitable for women – invariably low pay, low-status positions.

2.       Women own less than 1 percent of the world’s property. Where laws or customs prevent women from owning land or other productive assets, from getting loans or credit, or from having the right to inheritance or to own their home, they have no assets to leverage for economic stability and cannot invest in their own or their own children’s futures.

These problems are dozing the whole world under the hope of deterioration on the scale of globalization. Still there is lots of problem, which are arising in the field of education. These sections of society are supposed to be under curtain. They are still not allowed to go for the higher education and hence results into the lower literacy rates.

In many societies around the world, women never belong wholly to themselves; they are the property of others throughout their lives. Their physical well-being – health, security and bodily integrity – is often beyond their own control. Where women have no control over money, they cannot choose to get health care for themselves or their children. Where having a large number of children confers status on both men and women – indeed, where childbearing may be the only marker of value available to women –

Frequent pregnancy and labor can be deadly.

Well, looking into the depth of the circumstances we will find out the solution lies and depends on the government’s help of the concerned nations.

Well, looking into the problem in depth, there are still many bloody tortures that women of now a days are suffering from.

Around the globe, home and community are not safe havens for a billion girls and women: At least one in three females on earth has been physically or sexually abused, often repeatedly and often by a relative or acquaintance. By the World Bank’s estimate, violence rivals cancer as a cause of morbidity and mortality for women of childbearing age. Even within marriage, women may not be able to negotiate when and what type of sex to have, nor to protest their husbands’ multiple sex partners. Poverty and exclusion push some girls and women to engage in sex work, almost always the desperate, last choice of people without other choices.

With all these problems at our desk, the mind strikes about the solution. Where the solution lies?

Our understanding of empowerment reminds us that change – in this case, improvement in the physical, economic, political or social well-being of women – will not be sustained unless:

Individuals change: Poor women become actors for change, able to analyze their own lives, make their own decisions and take their own actions. Women (and men) gain ability to act by building awareness, skills, knowledge, confidence and experience.

and

Structures change: Women and men, individually and collectively, challenge the routines, conventions, laws, family forms, kinship structures and taken-for-granted behaviors that shape their lives – the accepted forms of power

and how these are perpetuated.

and

Relations change: Women and men form new relations with other social actors, form coalitions and develop mutual support in order to negotiate, be agents of change, alter structures and so realize rights, dignity and livelihood security.
