The document discusses women's empowerment in India, noting that empowerment involves increasing women's self-worth, choices, access to opportunities, power over their own lives, and ability to influence social change. It provides statistics showing that women make up 48% of India's population but only 29% of the workforce and 26% have access to formal credit. While opportunities for women in India are increasing, on average Indian women still have little power or say at home or in public positions.

increasing the authority and responsibility
of individuals or groups to make choices
and to transform those choices into desired
actions and outcomes”.

3. Women's empowerment has five components:
• Women's sense of self-worth;
• Their right to have and to determine choices;
• Their right to have access to opportunities and
resources;
• Their right to have the power to control their
own lives, both within and outside the home;
• And their ability to influence the direction of
social change to create a judicious social
and economic order, nationally and
internationally.

6. •NEW DELHI: Being equal to their male
counterparts is still a far cry for Indian
women. Not only are they marginal as
public figures, an average Indian
woman can hardly call the shots at
home or outside.
•In 2012, women occupied only eight
out of 74 ministerial positions in the
Union council of ministers. There were
only two women judges out of 26
judges in the Supreme Court, and
there were only 54 women judges out
of 634 judges in various high courts.
