Women play a key role in shaping and constituting of the society, but what they should get back in return is on a pending track. This paper tends to highlight the major issues which the women are facing in the contemporary world that are creating hindrances in the upliftment as well as their empowerment. Some of the prevailing problems which the women are facing in their daily life are domestic violence, rape, women trafficking, acid attacks etc. The dominant causes which are overshadowing women empowerment is the lack of implementation programs, and women themselves are not aware of their basic fundamental and legal rights which should be done from the grass root level. Many international organizations and agencies are working consistently for the upgradation of the women. This review paper also tries to give suggestions for the implementation of programs which can facilitate the apotheosis of women.
