Women Rights In India

Abstract

In the past, Human Rights had been conceptualized in such a way that did not take account of women's lives and the fact that women experienced violence, crime, discrimination and coercion. A key component of sustainable development, economic growth, security and peace in the society is the concept of gender equality and women empowerment. By making strong legislative provisions we can empower the women but mere making of new laws is not enough if they are unable to use them effectively. So, the prime requirement is to educate the women and to make her aware about women’s rights. Unemployment and lack of resources is the major barrier within the course of exercising their rights. This paper makes an attempt to give a detailed view of women rights.
