The present paper seeks to analyse the relationship among Gender Inequality,Women Empowerment and Human Developmentat Global Level. The secondary data are used for the study. The study carried out for 133 countries which are classified on the basis of region, level of human development and level of income.  The indices like HDI, GDI, IHDI,GII and WEI were analysed on the basis of the classification.To know the strength of the relationship between HDI, GII and WEI  a correlation analysis was carried out. We have found that HDI was negatively correlated with GII indicating that high human development countries had low GII and vice versa. HDI was positively related with WEI indicating that high human development always accompanied with high empowerment of women. Relationship between GII and WEI was also found to be negative which implied that countries with high women empowerment had less gender inequality. All these correlation coefficients established the fact that human development, gender inequality and women empowerment were significantly inter related.
