Empowerment of Women Through Micro Enterprises: A Study

By P Suneetha

Women empowerment is internationally recognized as a fundamental objective in achieving progress in all the areas of development and it refers the economic stability and improving the quality of life of women. Women comprise nearly half of the national population of any country and hence, development of any country is inseparably linked with developing the status of women. In this context, women empowerment is one of the millennium development goals. Geographically men and women share the same space, but they live in different. The status of women in most countries is low and their socio-economic conditions are miserable than that of the men. The imposition of 'social norms' has suppressed females considerably in a patriarchal society. Women play a vital role in the socio economic development of a country. But both in the developed and under developed countries, women are burdened with cumulative inequalities as a result of discriminatory practices. Although women have made notable progress in the realms of life, sprawling inequalities still persist in their access to education, health care, physical and financial resources and opportunities in the political, economic, cultural and social spheres.
