The Concept of Women Empowerment and Social Justice in India

The empowerment and autonomy of women and the improvement of their political, social, economic and health status is a highly important end in itself. In addition, it is essential for the achievement of sustainable development. Empowering women in its simplest form essentially focuses in the making of an environment where women can protest and access their deserved moral upright, equal and expanded opportunity positioned dignity as citizens, where they can take absolute, autonomous decisions in their particular capacities as well as be reformed as sincere equals in society. The need and obligation for social justice therefore arises in order to give priority to safety of women and their rights and gender equivalence. Social justice is not ordinarily about being gratifying or desirable. Rather the entire notion of social justice instils an immediate and compulsory proposal for achieving the fundamental upright of women aligned concerns and affairs. Women empowerment cannot be accessible until and unless women show up confidence, support and cooperation to self-empower themselves. Therefore, this Paper addresses the challenges and realities of this situation. It calls for government, political decision makers, NGOs, and other actors to come forward to ensure women‟s all round development for making India a developed country.
