Mother + daughter + sister + mentor + leader + partner + teacher = WOMEN.
With the slogan of women empowerment the question arises that, “Are women become really strong and is long term struggle has ended?” Empowerment can be viewed as means of creating a social environment in which one can make decisions and make choices either individually or collectively for social transformation. The extent of empowerment of women in the national hierarchy is determined largely by the three factors – her economic, social and political identity and their weightage. These factors are deeply intertwined and interlinked with many cross cutting linkages which imply that if efforts in even one dimension remain absent or weak, outcomes and momentum generated by the other components cannot be sustained as they will not be able to weather any changes or upheavals.
It is only when all the three factors are simultaneously addressed and made compatible with each other can the woman being truly empowered. Therefore for holistic empowerment of the woman to happen – social, economic and political aspects impacting a woman’s life must converge effectively.
