An inferior status is given to women in our society. They are equal to men but not considered equal and discriminated in family and society. They face discrimination since they open their eyes in the world. That’s why by seeing their low status, need to empower them was felt. Women empowerment means give power and equal status to women and make them able to face any challenge in society. Constitution of India provides various provision to ensure gender equality. By this, women have come forward and breached various stereotypes. They have proved that they are not inferior than men. Women’s status in society is good as well as bad. Good for those who belongs to rich and respectable family and who have come forward to join various high occupations and bad for those who are poor and still limited to domestic responsibility, they are facing exploitation and discrimination and still living in a miserable condition. Women have empowered it is reality but all women have empowered is only a myth.
