Abstract

Most females are not involved in economic and political decision-making, equitable involvement in the formal economy is constrained, less salary, and have unequal distribution of assets and property. Moreover, for a huge portion of women, the day when she gives birth becomes the most dangerous days of her lives. Inequalities are seen in all the nook and corners of the world which differ from country to country and region to region. The impediments and imbalance that women and girls experience frequently arise as they do not have control over their own lives and futures and are mainly due to gender inequalities in power relations. Women empowerment, this can only be achieved if from the very basic we nurture our children without any gender bias during their developmental stage by providing appropriate training, education, awareness, building self–confidence to women and girls, also providing them free reign to expand their choices, strengthen their voices and transforming power to claim their true right in the society, community and in their own lives.
