In the simplest of words it is basically the creation of an environment where women can make independent decisions on their personal development as well as shine as equals in society.
Women want to be treated as equals so much so that if a woman rises to the top of her field it should be a commonplace occurrence that draws nothing more than a raised eyebrow at the gender. This can only happen if there is a channelized route for the empowerment of women.
Thus it is no real surprise that women empowerment in India is a hotly discussed topic with no real solution looming in the horizon except to doubly redouble our efforts and continue to target the sources of all the violence and ill-will towards women.
CHALLENGES

There are several challenges that are currently plaguing the issues of women’s rights in India. Some of them like lack of education Cheap Devin McCourty Jersey , poverty in the country, lack of health and safety measures, few of these challenges are presented below.

Targeting these issues will directly benefit the empowerment of women in India.
ACTIONS TAKEN TO EMPOWER WOMEN

The United Nations Development Programme constituted eight Millennium Development Goals (MDG) for ensuring equity and peace across the world.

Opinion by Mrs.Harsha B. Popat: India as a country is still recovering from years of abuse in the time of the Raj and more years of economic suffering at the hands of the License Raj. It is only now that globalisation, liberalisation and other socio-economic forces have given some respite to a large proportion of the population. However, there are still quite a few areas where women empowerment in India is largely lacking.
To truly understand what women empowerment is Cheap Tom Brady Jersey , there needs to be a sea-change in the mind-set of the people in the country. Not just the women themselves, but the men have to wake up to a world that is moving towards equality and equity. It is better that this is embraced earlier rather than later, for our own good.
Swami Vivekananda once said “arise away and stop not until the goal is reached”. Thus our country should thus be catapulted into the horizon of empowerment of women and revel in its glory.
We have a long way to go, but we will get there someday. We shall overcome.
