ABSTRACT: The existence of humanity on this planet depends on the efforts and contribution of its population. Men and women are co-existing to make the world a better place to live in. However, history has witnessed time and again that women are the victims of the male dominated society. The world in- spite of propagation of equality amongst both sexes; is facing a serious challenge. Many socio- religious movements have made significant contribution in improving the condition of women. In the 21st century we witness women surpassing the men in many fields but yet a lot is required to be done. Many women do not know about their rights and are afraid to share their woes. The womenfolk need to be enlightened and made aware of their rights and powers. Here the role of NGOs is of great importance. Many NGOs are working for the empowerment of women, and they do not get any aid from Government. They are volunteering themselves for this cause. This paper is an attempt to study the role of NGOs in empowering women. But the question is that how far they have been successful in their goal.
