Abstract

Empowerment of women is a major social process which requires multi-dimensional influence. Gender equality is enshrined in order to provide equality for women in every field of life. The challenge is to provide a proper balance between both the genders and empower them with their rights. Greater access to education, opportunities, health and skill building for decision making should be made available to women in order to help them in copping up with the current biased approach. Not only government intervention but also the determination of women towards self-reliance is necessary for the change. The absence of women from workforce is a wider issue the country is facing when it comes to employment and job growth. Men are not the only reason why women not join workforce, there are many more reasons for the same.
