Empowerment is a multi-acted, multi-dimensional and multi-layered strategy which enables women to realize their full individuality and power in all spheres of life. It also involves creating an atmosphere where women can use their capability to address the fundamental problems of society at par with their male counterparts. Due to various causes women are in an unfavourable position in most of the countries. To overcome the present crisis, the empowerment of women from all sides—economic, social, political, legal and educational etc. is the urgent need.
