Women Empowerment for Developing India: A Study of Tamil Nadu.

Abstract

Women have always fought for their rights. Women's status is regarded to be lowered in a patriarchal society and a male-dominated power system. Weakened women seek relief and liberation on their own. Awareness has grown as a result of liberation campaigns, feminist movements, and reformation concepts. "Women's empowerment" refers to improving women's social, economic, and political standing. It advocates for the development of non-state and state leadership capacities. Women's empowerment is critical in today's world. The feminist movement began in the 1800s when British women wanted the right to vote. Since then, there have been two global waves of feminism. The five components of women's empowerment are increasing women's sense of self-worth, giving them the freedom to choose and make decisions on issues that affect them, providing them with opportunities and resources, and giving them the authority to make decisions about their own lives, both inside and outside the home. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin approved the proposal in the Pappampatti Gram Sabha in Madurai. Tamil Nadu, in southern India, will provide a safe, secure, healthy, and aspirational environment for its 3.2 crore women through operational convergence among departments, boosting women's development outcomes, and involving both genders in the common goal. Pondicherry, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Sri Lanka border Tamil Nadu. The study examines women's empowerment in rising India, with a particular emphasis on Tamil Nadu. The study used both primary and secondary sources and used a descriptive-cumulative analytical strategy to achieve an unbiased result by analyzing qualitative data with the thematic analytical tool QADMAX.
