There are umpteenth agreements which affirm women's rights but still women are more likely to be poor & illiterate vis-a-vis men. They can hardly avail medical care, property ownership, credit, training & employment. In political sphere they have no say & domestically they spend pathetic life.
The relative status of men & women, the interaction between gender & race, class & ethnicity & question of rights, control, ownership, power & voice all have a critical impact on the success & sustainability of every development intervention.
Gender mainstreaming was defined by the United Nations Economic & Social Council in 1997 as a strategy for making women's as well as men's concerns & experiences an integral dimension of the policies & programmes in all political, economic & societal sphere so that women & men benefit equally & inequality is not perpetuated.
Women empowerment is not limited to control population explosion or financial independence rather it is a combination of literacy, employment & health.
Women empowerment is an important & useful concept in the development of the community as it represents women as active agent rather than passive recipients of development policies.
If we really want to see our women empowered, then we must provide them best suitable education which will ultimately help them in improving their economic lot by getting suitable jobs both in the public & the private sectors of the country.
Without giving education & jobs to our women especially of rural areas, all over dreams of making our women empowered will perish in open air. Besides this, women of our country should equally be given opportunities in making important decisions in the affairs of both house & society.
