In our country, ‘Goddess Durga’ is the symbol of Women Empowerment, encourage, and strength. It’s been more than seventy years since we are free from the clutches of British rule in India. Are ‘we’ really independent? Do our women feel the freedom, freedom from the barbarity against them? Do we have freedom from caste discrimination, violence? Have we got the freedom from the corruption?
‘Violence against women’ is increasing rapidly. Rape, female feticide, acid attacks, domestic violence, dowry deaths, honor killings, forced abortion, human trafficking, sexual violence, forced prostitution and the lists are never ending.
‘Women development‘ has become the movement but in our India, it only seems a distant dream. It is the process of treating the women with the same status with that of men in all the sectors of the society. Now they face the basic problem is that of education, poverty and safety and health, and empowerment.

Still, the gender bias and beliefs are playing as the major obstacles to the growth of women empowerment in our country.
Now, it’s time to get united for developing the women, developing the nation.
