By means of prohibited female infanticide on the rise, the system need to check the on the increase disproportion in the general public.

Jawaharlal Nehru had said “You can tell the condition of the nation by looking at the status of women.”



The experts say that there are some frame work for women’s empowerment they are namely- welfare, access, conscientisation, mobilization and control.

Welfare means an improvement in socio-economic status.

Access to resources and services, which improve their own status, relative to men, by their own work.

Conscientisation is a process, by which women as a group advise to act to remove one or more of the prejudiced practice.

Mobilization is the empowerment by forge links with the larger women's association, to learn from the success of women's.

Control is the level when women have taken action so that there is gender equality in decisions making over access to resources.

According to Mahatma Gandhi, “If you educate a man you educate an individual, but if you educate a woman you educate an entire family.”
