26. Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women in India

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Gender equality and women’s empowerment are central to the progress of any nation. In India, despite constitutional guarantees and various policy measures aimed at ensuring equal rights, gender disparity continues to be a critical issue. Women face multiple socio-economic, cultural, and political challenges that hinder their full participation in nation-building. However, the last few decades have witnessed significant strides in women’s empowerment, with greater access to education, employment, and leadership roles. This article explores the current status of gender equality in India, the barriers to women's empowerment, the initiatives taken by the government and society, and the way forward to build a more inclusive and equitable nation.
