First of all the fact that there arose a need to empower women, says much about how we have failed to qualify as an ideal society. How ironic it is, that women, the more powerful gender of the two, except probably physically, needs to be empowered! The fact this term ‘women empowerment’ is in the knowledge of almost all, says much about the progress made in the right direction, with regard to the concerned matter here. With increased awareness and a progressive thought process, it has made possible for today’s women to be able to do everything.
Women empowerment typically means that women of the society have the right and power to make their own choices, breaking all the unfair stereotypes and getting equal opportunities to make their rightful mark on the world. Today’s women have been successful in securing the topmost position in all the sectors, be it politics, business, sports and academics. Previously stereotyped professions that deemed women inappropriate or incompetent to do the job, has now started considering women, not only to become the member of any such professions but also to lead them from the front. Women have beaten men legitimately in almost all arenas and sectors
Thus it can be said that in today’s times, women empowerment is running with its full pace, as they have started getting access to equal opportunities and resources. This has made today’s woman stronger and self-sufficient. But we must not forget that the journey is quite long and slow and we have just set our foot in the right direction. The current condition of the women in society tells us that there is a lot yet to be desired. We have just scratched the surface. This same enthusiasm and willingness must prevail to conserve development of women and there by spread the light of hope. Thus, we can say that even though the position of women in the society have been much better, the flame has just started to pick up and we must not let it being put off.
