Abstract

There are end number of predicaments of being a woman. She has been incarcerated from ages, her well-being overlooked and her interests have been jeopardised. Women’s access to rights, opportunities, resources and adequate means for availing them is long due and is indispensable for her emancipation from the shackles of oppression and maltreatment meted out to her since centuries. This paper seeks to portray the pressing need of prioritising empowerment of women via administration of gender inclusivity in social, economic and political fronts. The paper entails the meaning, need and potential barriers that stand in the way of ensuring and inculcating inclusivity of women within every domain of development with an elaborate and extensive deliberation of the international and national stances that have been undertaken to counter and redress the discrimination women have been meted with and thereby giving her the recourse and the amenities to realise her full potential.
