Women Empowerment

The long feminist movement throughout the world helped women achieve equal rights like right to vote, right to education, right to work and have equal pay, reproductive rights and right to education. Nepali women too have actively taken part in the social and political movements and have worked hard to attain the rights conferred by the constitution and the existing laws. Attainment of these rights have brought substantial changes in women’s lives, but women empowerment in real sense is only possible through economic independence and role enhancement in economic activities and decision making.
