Abstract
United Nations population funds believe that women empowerment and achievement is very important need in itself but the question arises why do we need women more empowered? Our history answers this question and tells us how women were deprived of basic minimum rights of living a decent and respectful life, not only in India but in every part of the world. Our patriarchal nature of the society and the historical background is very much responsible for this. In present times, women are knowing their worth, obtaining their rights which the society had snatched from her, women are not asking for their permission to exercise their own right, they are practicing it with her full might and if not then fighting for it. The major five motivational components of women’s empowerment are sense of self-worth, their right to have and to determine choices, their right to have the power to control and balance their own life, right to have fair and equal opportunities and resources and their ability to influence the society in which she lives. “She must not accept, she must challenge.” They have many challenges ahead but with taking small and effective steps together, they can achieve the equality and respect that they wish for.
