Women Empowerment, Problems and Prospects in Bhaderwah Tehsil

Abstract

This paper makes an effort to assess the state of women's empowerment in the villages of Bhaderwah town and to highlight its problems and difficulties. One of the most pressing issues of the 21st century is now the empowerment of women. However, in actuality, women's empowerment remains a fantasy. We see in daily life how many social ills cause women to become victims. Women's empowerment is a crucial tool for increasing women's access to resources and ability to make wise life decisions. Women's empowerment is fundamentally the process of improving the status of traditionally underprivileged women in society on the economic, social, and political fronts. Building a societal and political climate where women can live free from oppression, exploitation, trepidation, discrimination, and the general sense of persecution that comes with being a woman in a historically male-dominated institution is a key component of women empowerment. Nearly half of the world's population is made up of women; however, Present article intends to describe and evaluate with the political participation of women in the selected villages of Bhaderwah and discusses about the role of women in family planning, their mobility and decision-making capability in the selected villages.
