Women are the pillars of a society. A society cannot exist without the values and notions that are instilled by the women to make a cultured society. Men have always dominated the society and in every aspect. The need for women empowerment arose due hamper the growing gender discrimination in the society. It was believed that women should equally be given importance. Though the government always stresses on Empowering Women and ensuring gender equality, the practice of it is only applied in few places.
