the process, bywhich women challengegender based
discriminationagainst women in thesociety. 3. PREVIOUS SCENARIO
Since the ancient times, the kings used tohave as many as 200 wives
, social evils likedowry, sati, child marriages and traditions
likedudhpiti have been haunting the Indiansociety. Women were not
given importance, respectand education. They were merely
consideredas a tool to give birth to children and continuetheir
family tree. 4. PRESENT SCENARIO Since independence, efforts have
been madeto educate women on variouspolitical, economical, social
issues. Traditions like dudhpiti & sati areeradicated and
government is making effortsfor upliftment of women. But still
practices like dowry & child marriagesare observed. 5. NEED OF
WOMENEMPOWERMENT Women are the back bone of the society. If women
