3. INTRODUCTION
Women empowerment refers to making women powerful to make them capable of deciding
for themselves. Women have suffered a lot through the years at the hands of men. In earlier
centuries, they were treated as almost non-existent. As if all the rights belonged to men even
something as basic as voting. As the times evolved, women realized their power. There on
began the revolution for women empowerment.As women were not allowed to make
decisions for them, women empowerment came in like a breath of fresh air. It made them
aware of their rights and how they must make their own place in society rather than
depending on a man. It recognized the fact that things cannot simply work in someone’s favor
because of their gender. However, we still have a long way to go when we talk about the
reasons why we need it.
