Women Empowerment

Women Empowerment

Women’s empowerment can be defined as acknowledging their rights as human beings and boosting their self-esteem. The history depicts the difficulties that women face in order to live peacefully. However, with the proper education, awareness, and guidance, women’s societal status has changed drastically. Women are succeeding and excelling in a variety of fields, including business, sports, politics, medicine, defence, military, and so on.

We at SKJ Juris believe that, every woman is unique and has a determined choice, whether she lives within or outside the home. Let’s see what our maximum number of empowered women has to say.

Importance of Women Empowerment:

• Contributes to the Country’s Overall Development-

Women are actively taking part in every other field of society. With women’s involvement in all fields, a country progresses and develops. This leads to the overall development and prosperity of the country.

• Achieves the goal of Gender Equality-

Women have been vulnerable to discrimination for ages due to their gender. They were often regarded as inferior to men in all aspects. Nevertheless, due to a transformation in the attitude of the people, the status of women has changed for the better. They are given the same status as men. Women are encouraged to participate and voice their opinions on several matters.

Literacy helps women understand the difference between right and wrong. Empowered women can determine the injustice done to them. It teaches women the rights they can exercise that will help them fight against domestic violence and strive for impartiality.
