Abstract

India is one of the most populous countries in the world. Nearly half of the population of 1.4 billion is women. In ancient times, women were considered worshipful, but with the development of civilization, due to various historical, social, cultural and economic reasons, the women community became a victim of inequality in all areas. Institutions related to patriarchy, division of labor and commercialism played an important role in this inequality.

In the last decades, the determination and implementation of policies, decisions, plans and programs of the legislature and governments have brought positive changes in the status of women in some areas. In view of this, the Nari Shakti Vandan Act has been brought so that women get the right to represent themselves and take decisions in their own context. This political participation will definitely complete the task of women empowerment.
