Empowerment means people having power and control over their own lives. People get the support they need that is right for them. It means that people are equal citizens. They are respected and confident in their communities. This enables them to represent their communities. This enables them to represent their interests in a responsible and self-determind way, acting on their own authority. Education is milestone of women empowerment. This is not only because education is an entry point to opportunity but also because women’s educational achievements have positive ripple effects within the family and across generation. Education is an essential means of empowering women with knowledge, skills and self-confidence necessary to fully participate in the development process. Sustainable development is only possible when men and women enjoy equal opportunities to reach their potential. Isabel Allende says: “Giving women education, work, the ability to control their own income, inherit and own property, benefits the society. If a woman is empowered, her children and her family will be better off. If families prosper, the village prospers and eventually so does the whole country.” Women empowerment refers to the creation of an environment for women where they can make decisions of their own for their personal benefits as well as for the society. And education can play an important role in the whole process. It can be the torch in the darkness by which one can see the right path. Women empowerment refers to increasing and improving the social, economic, political and legal strength of the women, to ensure equal right to woman and to make them confident enough to claim their rights, such as:  Have equal social status in the society,  Have equal rights for social and economic justice.  Get equal employment opportunity without gender bias etc. Moreover, women education can play an important role in the overall development of the country. Educated women not only tend to promote education of their girl children but also can provide better guidance to all their children. In short, we can say that education is just like a vehicle or tool for women empowerment. Keywords: Empowerment, Education, Knowledge, Sustainable, Development, Rights.
