Abstract

Women: Issues and Empowerment

Gojen Daimari

Human society appears justifiable in its sphere of progress or development only when the divided space of exclusion to women remains excluded in participation and contribution. There cannot be the imposed diaspora for the women to be discussed in the literatures. However the contemporary discourses on women shows, where the most developed and developing countries with the democratic principles or the guidelines is under constant threat to women’s dignity. Women have been the most vulnerable to war crime, rape and objectified for sexual desire. Feminism emerged with women as concern, and reached the third world as a ray of hope for the helpless women under own governance. The emerged feminist movement tries to see the oppression of women in society the corollary of marginalization, exclusion in the claimed socially male constructed or say the male dominated social settings. It looks for change-in-policy framing to improve the conditions of women or to make themselves transform. In fact the focus to deliver effective policies for setting democratic societies by every successive government like in India is held to be in paradoxical. This is where the Indian society is equally maintaining the so called the widespread exploitation against women. Thus the question of women empowerment, opportunity, and gender equality comes up. In the context, the society at best can progress where there is the space for women to enjoy the basic human requirements or at the behest of their capabilities, innovative ideas. Equal share in opportunity, distribution and participation in every sphere of politics, economic and social may help their innovative ideas contribute to the growth of society and the country. The paper, therefore would attempt to focus on different issues pertaining to women in society and the need for empowerment in the contemporary world
