The women have made a considerable progress, but they 

still have to struggle against many social evils in the male-

dominated society. Many evil and masculine forces still 

prevail in the modern society that resists the forward 

march of its women folk. There has been amelioration in 

the position of women, but their true empowerment is still 

awaited.

 “There is no chance for the welfare of the world 

unless the condition of women is improved, It is not 

possible for a bird to fly on only one wing.” Therefore, 

inclusion of “Women Empowerment’ as one of the prime 

goals underscores the relevance of this fact. Thus, in order 

to achieve the status of Hyderabad City as Global City & 

needs to transform its huge women force into an effective 

human resource and this is possible only through the 

empowerment of women.

economical, gender-based discrimination & etc., and there 

are various aspect of women empowerment.

A critical aspect of social empowerment of women is 

promotion of gender equality. Gender equality implies a 

society in which women and men enjoy the same 

opportunities, outcomes, rights and obligations in all 

spheres of life.
