Psychological determinants of women's social freedom - Kumari Punam - Bog

Women empowerment means making women able, competent, effective, skilled and manipulating so that they may develop their potential and be parallel to men in all aspects of life. Presently, the share of women in all walks of life is not sufficient. Their social freedom is not equal to men. Human beings have proud of being part of civilized society. But this is one aspect of the coin. It has another aspect also and that aspect is very dark, gloomy and disappointing as well. According to an estimate hardly 35% women are at lower levels of organizations, while in china their share is 76%. They are the subjects of discrimination, exploitation and deprivation in different spheres of life even today. Unless and until the society does justice to them, the dream of empowering women cannot take material shape. It is urgently felt that without empowering women like men, an ideal society cannot be imagine. A powerful and productive nation cannot be procured. Empowering women is the need of the hour. This movement hasreceived impetus from several events and views of the past, but its relevance was properly recognized in 1948, when a universal human rights declaration made it an issue. Its need was further emphasized openly in 1992 during Earth Summit, as a consequence, 2001 was marked as the International Women Empowerment Year.
