Abstract: The term "women's empowerment" refers to the process by which formerly oppressed groups are able to assert their legal rights. When people are empowered, they are able to fully engage in economic activities and decision-making processes without facing any obstacles. By providing them with training and the opportunity to become educated, women's education may help elevate their standing and bring about additional awareness. The goal of women's empowerment is to provide women with the resources they need to make their own choices in response to societal challenges. Environmental preservation, economic growth, and social development are all components of sustainable development, but the former cannot occur without the empowerment of women. The centuries-long patriarchal system in our society and the centuries-long discrimination and dominance of males over women both contributed to the need of empowering women.

The idea of women's empowerment is still strange in certain parts of India, where sexism and oppression are commonplace. There is a perception that women are a vulnerable class because they rely on males to provide for their basic needs. A woman is considered empowered when she achieves financial independence. When it comes to empowerment, the vast majority of the world's women are impoverished. Every single economic indicator, including life expectancy, literacy rate, GDP growth rate, etc., shows a favourable correlation with women's empowerment. Our nation's progress may be accelerated if women are empowered and given the chance to shine. In addition to boosting their self-esteem, the various training programs enrich their social lives by enhancing their communication skills and opening up new avenues of connection with loved ones and the wider world.
