Women's Achievement Today

The empowerment of women refers to providing the necessary rights and responsibilities to women in order to make them self-reliant. Traditionally, Indian women have been brought to become workers or servants to serve the man – dominating world. Even in mythology, there is no gender equity and women were deprived of their legal rights, to get property, education privacy, social status and they were never treated as participants in any developmental works. Empowerment is the process of building capacities of women, creating an atmosphere which will enable people to fully utilize their creative potentials. Empowerment gives women, the capacity to influence decision making process, planning, implementation and evaluation. The status of women empowerment using various indicators like women's household decision making power, financial autonomy, freedom of movement, political participation, acceptance of unequal gender role, exposure to media, access to education, experience of domestic violence etc based on data from different sources. Gender gap exists regarding access to education and employment. Household decision-making power and freedom of movement of women vary considerably with their age, education and employment status.

Women were like "useless" before especially in our society. But obviously in our present time, women can also do men's job and amazingly can be trusted in all of the things unlike before. I can say that gender gap doesn't exist anymore. Today, we can hear stories, witness experiences of women who did a great job to survive the complication of living.





One frequent example, SINGLE MOMS. We all know that being a mother isn't that simple. Having been raised by a woman who gave her best just to give her child quality education and a but surely attainable future is indeed a GREAT ACHIEVEMENT in her part. Nowadays, stories about different women's achievement are mostly heard and seen. This can probably let everyone in the world see that women now are most likely FUNCTIONAL, INFLUENTIAL and INSPIRATIONAL unlike the old times where the capability of women were limited.
