Abstract: Empowerment literally denotes to ‘to invest with power’. Power is defined as the ability to influence the behaviour of others with or without restraint. Women empowerment is understood as a very narrow term in today’s world. As mentioned above women empowerment means to authorize as it is very necessary to make the bright future of the family, society and country. Women empowerment and gender justice put social transformation at the centre of the agenda of human development and progress. In general sense, it refers to empowering women to be self dependent by providing them access to all the freedoms and opportunities, which they were denied in the past only because of their being women. In a specific sense, women empowerment refers to enhancing their position in the power structure of the society. There are many formulating strategies and initiating processes in order to bring women into mainstream of development. Many programmes such as International Women’s day, Mother’s Day etc are bringing awareness in the society about the true value of women in development of the nation. All over the world and particularly in South and East Asia and Africa the gender problem has assumed importance where women are ill-treated by their family members and outsiders. Here we study how women particularly educated Muslim women in Bhopal can publicize their perceptions freely by breaking this vicious circle to achieve justice and equality in all walks of life.
