Abstract
Women's empowerment is a global issue that has received attention in recent decades, since women's social and economic well-being is vital to the success of any community or nation. Women's empowerment is about establishing an environment in which women have the authority to make their own decisions. Women's Empowerment ensures that women have equal rights and gives them the courage to assert them. It also ensures that women may live their lives freely, with dignity and respect. Women's empowerment guarantees women equal access to education and employment possibilities, free of gender bias. It also entails providing a safe and comfortable workplace for women. The first step towards women's empowerment is to educate them. Education will increase women's self-confidence and help them find jobs. Education, in particular, empowers women to make health-promoting choices for themselves and their children. Education will also increase women's awareness of their human rights, as well as their confidence and ability to exercise them. Despite significant progress in recent years, literacy is not universally accessible, and gender inequities remain. Women account for half of the Indian population. In modern India, in addition to the correction of international treaties, provisions in the Constitution and various legislative Acts have been developed to ensure women's empowerment. Women's responsibilities have altered in various ways, such as engagement in the development process and the emergence of self-help groups, which is vital for sustainable growth in which women play a direct and distinctive role.
