Dr Ekta Dhariwal

Abstract :

Today the empowerment of women has become one of the most important concern of 21th century. Now a days the theme of gender equality and gender studies is very popular all over the globe. For the first time in the history women fell empowered enough to step forward and speak up for themselves. The MeeToo movement is the prominent proof of the fact that women finally decided not to endure the gender discrimination. This Paper attempts to analyse the status of Women in politics and highlights the issues and challenges that women face in politics. But practically women empowerment is still an illusion of reality. The study reveals that women are relatively disempowered and they enjoy somewhat lower status than that of men. It is found that acceptance of unequal gender norms by women are still prevailing in the society.
