Abstract

This paper addresses the global problem of “Women’s Empowerment.” Women’s empowerment and equality with men are universal issues. It refers to the formation of an atmosphere in which women can make their own decisions for their personal and societal good. It also refers to increasing and improving women’s social, economic, political, and legal strength in order to ensure equal rights for women and to give them the confidence to assert their rights, such as the freedom to live their lives with a sense of self-worth, respect, and dignity, to have complete control over their lives, both inside and outside of their homes and workplaces, to make their own choices and decisions, and to have equal rights to participate in social, religious, and political activities. Women who are empowered should have the opportunity to participate in decision-making. This study seeks to examine the position of women in India as well as the required efforts done to prevent crime against women and improve their situation.
