Abstract: The paper, I have undertaken is invariably structured on the concept of ambivalent approach of women empowerment. Discrimination against women has persisted in every section of society, caste or religion since time immemorial. She faces discrimination at every step and in every walk of life from womb to tomb, cradle to grave. She is going to excel in every field by dint of hard work but on the contrary, she is becoming victim of dowry death, domestic violence, acid attack et al. She is always afraid of her dignity as well as social and financial security. Man and woman are two significant parts of a social fabric. As a Cart can’t run properly if one wheel in not aligned properly Similar is case of a family, society or a nation. The family, society or a nation can’t make progress completely until and unless it’s significant part (.women) is lagging behind. Society should come forward to create a amicable atmosphere in which there is no gender discrimination and women have full opportunities of self decision making and participating in social, political and economic life of the country. Gender equality has been appreciated even by the National Human Right Commission. A family, society or a nation can achieve a height only if it’s all stakeholders are administered and governed equally by law of equality as every human being is equal before law. Initiatives of the Government alone can not be sufficient to achieve the objective. No doubt, women are going to excel in every field but these are a few number of women. More and more participation of women is needed from marginalized section of society within patriarchal cultural. People of patriarchal social system must change their mindset and play a progressive role for a better tomorrow.
