    Women empowerment aims to make women capable of deciding their own fate by recognizing their rights. Historically, women have faced oppression and lacked basic rights like voting. While progress has been made, full empowerment is still needed. In India specifically, women face dangers like honor killings, lack of education and freedom, domestic violence, unequal pay, and child marriage. To empower women, education must be compulsory, equal opportunities and pay provided, child marriage abolished, and self-defense skills and financial independence encouraged. Overcoming the stigma around divorce is also important to allow women to leave abusive situations.

    Need for Women Empowerment anD How to Empower

    Women?

    Women empowerment refers to making women powerful to make


    them capable of deciding for themselves. Women have suffered a lot
    through the years at the hands of men. In earlier centuries, they were
    treated as almost non-existent. As if all the rights belonged to men even
    something as basic as voting. As the times evolved, women realized
    their power. There on began the revolution for women empowerment.

    As women were not allowed to make decisions for them, women


    empowerment came in like a breath of fresh air. It made them aware of
    their rights and how they must make their own place in society rather
    than depending on a man. It recognized the fact that things cannot
    simply work in someone’s favor because of their gender. However, we
    still have a long way to go when we talk about the reasons why we need
    it.

    Almost every country, no matter how progressive has a history of ill-


    treating women. In other words, women from all over the world have
    been rebellious to reach the status they have today. While the western
    countries are still making progress, third world countries like India still
    lack behind in Women Empowerment.

    In India, women empowerment is needed more than ever. India is


    amongst the countries which are not safe for women. There are various
    reasons for this. Firstly, women in India are in danger of honor killings.
    Their family thinks its right to take their lives if they bring shame to the
    reputation of their legacy.

    Moreover, the education and freedom scenario is very regressive here.


    Women are not allowed to pursue higher education, they are married off
    early. The men are still dominating women in some regions like it’s the
    woman’s duty to work for him endlessly. They do not let them go out or
    have freedom of any kind.

    In addition, domestic violence is a major problem in India. The men


    beat up their wife and abuse them as they think women are their
    property. More so, because women are afraid to speak up. Similarly, the
    women who do actually work get paid less than their male counterparts.
    It is downright unfair and sexist to pay someone less for the same work
    because of their gender. Thus, we see how women empowerment is the
    need of the hour. We need to empower these women to speak up for
    themselves and never be a victim of injustice.

    There are various ways in how one can empower women. The
    individuals and government must both come together to make it happen.
    Education for girls must be made compulsory so that women can
    become illiterate to make a life for themselves.

    Women must be given equal opportunities in every field, irrespective of


    gender. Moreover, they must also be given equal pay. We can empower
    women by abolishing child marriage. Various programs must be held
    where they can be taught skills to fend for themselves in case they
    face financial crisis.

    Most importantly, the shame of divorce and abuse must be thrown out
    of the window. Many women stay in abusive relationships because of
    the fear of society. Parents must teach their daughters it is okay to come
    home divorced rather than in a coffin.
