This article is written by Harshit Khandelwal, 2^nd year Law student currently pursuing BBA-LL.B(Hons.) from Unitedworld School of Law, Karnavati University . In this article, the author discusses meaning of women empowerment, stages of empowerment, characteristics and much more. LinkedIn Profile – https://www.linkedin.com/in/harshit-khandelwal-8694651ab

Introduction

In general words, empowerment means giving power. As per the International Encyclopedia, power means having the capacity to direct one’s life towards desired social, economic goals and status. Power means control over intellectual resources, ideology, and material assets. Empowerment helps people gain control over their own lives and it is also a multi-dimensional social process. Empowerment takes place within the psychological, sociological and economic spheres at various levels such as group, community and individuals and challenges the assumptions about asymmetrical power relationships, status quo and social dynamics.

Meaning

There are various ways to define empowerment, but when it comes to women empowerment, it means allowing and accepting women and making them a part of the decision-making process. The word “empowerment” has been largely used with women. For the overall development of the country, women empowerment is the most crucial point which needs to be considered. Empowerment of women is all about allowing and equipping women to make important decisions of life by facing difficult problems in society.

In development and economics, the empowerment of women has become an important topic of debate. For the sustainable development of the country, it is very essential to achieve gender equality and women empowerment. Even it is argued by many scholars and world leaders that without women empowerment and gender equality sustainable development is not possible. It will not be beneficial to sustainable development if only men’s participation is acknowledged.

Characteristics of Women Empowerment

1. It provides greater autonomy for women

2. Women Empowerment is making women better off, it is giving power to women

3. It provides a greater degree of self-confidence and a sense of independence

4. It helps women to increase their self-reliance

5. It means giving control to women over intellectual resources, ideology and material assets

6. It gives them power and capacity to resist discrimination imposed upon them by the male dominant society

7. It challenges traditional relations and power equations

8. It means challenging the difficulties faced in life, to overcome inequalities

9. It is a process of capacity building and creating awareness

Need and Importance of Women Empowerment

Empowerment of women and gender equality is something which is globally recognised as a key element to achieving progress in every field. Charter of United Nations which was signed in 1945 was the very first International Agreement which proclaimed gender equality.

a) Earnings

The average earnings of women’s are consistently lower in comparison to those of men.

b) Health

Admissions and attendance stats at hospitals are comparatively lower for women. A very systematic sex bias is reflected in caloric deficiency and higher nutritional among boys as well as girls. It was estimated by the U.N. Development Fund for Women that more than 50% of the women in Africa and Asia are malnourished.

c) Education

The school enrolment stats for girls are still lower than boys at all ages and stages, and the drop out rates for girls are higher from primary to high schools.

Steps in Women Empowerment

The following are the steps to achieve women empowerment-

1. The first step starts at personal level. A woman develops feelings of command, personal power, and self-efficiency over inherent and material choices she has to make.

2. In the second step, at impersonal level empowerment takes place. At this level, one woman influence the decision making power of another woman through working together and their making contacts.

3. In the third step, empowerment emphasis on social change and social action. Through group effort, a community development program develops. Community development can lead to interpersonal empowerment and individual empowerment.

Stages of Women Empowerment

There are three stages of women empowerment according to Sushama Sahay-

1. The first step starts with empowerment only visible when women distance themselves from a particular situation and understand the structure of power and look at them without fear. In this stage, women learn how to analyse the situation and in this way, the fear starts turning into an understanding.

2. In the next stage, women can experience the courage to protest.

3. In the next stage, women develop a more mature stage of life. Confidence is generated by collective support of the group, which develops a learning spirit in themselves.

Strategies of Women Empowerment

The strategy which is adopted empowerment of women is classified into three categories:

1. Economic Approach

This approach is particularly based on the economic interposing is regarded as necessary because of their consequent dependence and low economic status as due to their lack of decision making power.

2. Integrated development approach

It is an assumption that women disempowerment is due to their low economic status, lack of education, low decision-making power and lack of access to resources.

3. Consciousness rising-cum-organising approach

This approach suggests that empowerment can be achieved through awareness building. This disempowerment may result in a complex interplay of cultural, social, historical, political and economic factors.

Ways of Achieving Women Empowerment

Empowerment of women can be achieved through employment, education, women’s organisation, Science and Technology, Information Technology, Law and Agriculture.

a) Employment

Employment is referred to as economic power. It means earning by one’s ability and hard work. Employment whether in business or trade or a job pots constraints on women and gives economic dependence to men. Lack of earning is the main reason why women have to silently endure and tolerate harassment, that’s why they are ill-treated by their husbands.

b) Education

Education plays a very crucial role in empowering women. It not only sustains the empowerment process but also generates momentum in the long run. There are five dimensions within empowerment, every dimension is equally important. Several concepts need to be introduced at proper levels to achieve empowerment through education. When referring to schooling, girls can develop skills and knowledge to encounter stereotypes. Another important way of empowering adult women is distance education.

c) Women’s Organisation

The main source of position, power and strength for women in modern India is recognized as Women’s Organization. A woman cannot single-handedly or alone fight against the injustices against them in this male-dominant society. From all the different sections of the society, women’s are brought together to fight against the age-old practices such as polygamy, wife-beating, child-marriages, dowry, etc.

Conclusion

The sole aim of women empowerment is to make them realize their power, identity and potentiality in every sphere of life. Women Empowerment consists of five dimensions, i.e. political, economic, social/cultural, familial and personal. Empowerment of women is possible only when in each dimension a woman has increased access.

Introduction

Prashant Bhushan is an unmistakable social equality legal advisor and is one of the establishing individuals from the AAM AADMI PARTY (AAP). He hails from a family with a history of governmental issues. Bhushan was conceived in 1956 and finishes his investigations in law at the Allahabad University. He is a graduate of IIT Madras and Princeton University. While still an understudy, he composed a book on Indira Gandhi’s political decision in 1974, the case that shook India.

Bhushan’s open activism is notable and he has recorded a few PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION’S (PIL) against human rights issues. He was established in AAP in 2012 with Mr. Arvind Kejriwal and held different portfolios. In 2015, in any case, he had a drop out with Kejriwal sir over his fascism sort of rule and was before long expelled from the gathering alongside another removed AAP pioneer Yogendra Yadav.

Bhushan got assaulted at his chambers in the Supreme Court. Three people reportedly stormed into Mr. Bhushan’s chamber and began beating him while he was in the midst of a TV interview. Mr. Bhushan was slapped and kicked. He fell on the floor, his glasses fell near him, and his shirt was torn before other lawyers rushed to help him. The police had arrested one of the assaulters. The other managed to escape. Mr. Bhushan had been taken to a clinic for registration. They were stating that have offered a few remarks on Kashmir to which they were taking the complaint. I have said that a choice ought to be held in Kashmir.

Judgment by Supreme Court of India

PIL activist Prashant Bhushan has been found guilty on charges of contempt of court by the Supreme Court of India. The order was passed by a three-judge bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra. The proceedings were initiated suo moto by the court following tweets by the activist on the 22 and 29 of June.

One of his tweets was about the role of the last four Chief Justices of India and the other about the current CJI riding an expensive motorcycle while the court was in lockdown. While Bhushan later expressed some regret, the bench on Friday held that the latter tweet was not against the CJI in his individual capacity but as the head of the Judiciary. It noted that Bhushan not only himself appeared as a lawyer during this period but also challenged the FIR against him. The court refused to accept his tweet as it was written out of anguish.

It dismissed the contention that the tweet was just a matter of feeling, although a few specialists including previous Supreme Court judges have said or composed comparative things. On 11 January 2018, the four then senior-most appointed authorities of the Supreme Court had held a question and answer session to state that the validity of the most elevated legal executive is in question. They attested that the majority rules system would not make due as an autonomous legal executive is the sign of a fruitful vote based system. The Supreme Court had endured such a solid prosecution of itself, and afterward CJI Justice Dipak Mishra. Presently, it has decided not to disregard tweets by an attorney lobbyist. It said that unselfishness can’t be extended to such a degree, they may add up to shortcoming in managing a malignant, profane, determined assault on the very establishment of the organization of legal executive and in this manner harming the very establishment of the majority rules system.

However, as it so happens, it does not appear that Bhushan has always been opposed to the law criminalizing contempt of court. For instance, when former Justice of the Calcutta High Court CS KARNAN was jailed by the Supreme Court on charges of contempt of court, Prashant Bhushan hailed the landmark decision where a sitting High Court Judge was sentenced to imprisonment for the first time. There are several incidents in the past where Prashant Bhushan had claimed that others had committed the offense of contempt of court. But when the same law was applied against him, he went ahead to challenge the law itself.

Prior, the Supreme Court of India took suo moto against Bhushan’s wild conduct via web-based networking media and started disdain of court body of evidence against him and Twitter India. The summit-court gave a show-cause notice to the senior promoter asking him to clarify for what reason moves ought not to be made against him on the scorn of court charges.

“We hit Prashant Bhushan hard in his chamber in incomparable court,” a post announced. As he was driven away, the attacker who was captured said that they had gone to converse with Mr. Bhushan about a position he had taken on the Kashmir issue- “We won’t let anybody affront our saints,” he said. The man, who said his name was INDER VERMA, is being addressed at the Tilak Marg Police Headquarters. The other two, TEJINDER SINGH BHULLA and VISHNU GUPTA, are on the loose.

Home Minister P CHIDAMBARAM has censured the assault and sent a delegate to meet Mr. Bhushan at the hospital. He additionally talked about the assault with Delhi Police Commissioner B K Gupta. Then, the Congress General Secretary Digvijaya Singh guaranteed one of the three men who assaulted Mr. Bhushan was a young laborer for the BJP. The BJP quickly denied the charges.

It rejected the argument that the tweet has not interfered with the administration of justice. It relied on Brahma Prakash Sharma (1953) in which a constitution bench held that it is not necessary to prove affirmatively that there has been actual interference with the administration of justice. The bench also relied on C K DAPHTARY (1971) in which the court had held that we are unable to agree with him that a severe attack on a judge in respect of a judgement or past conduct has no adverse effect on the due administration of justice. This sort of attack in a country like ours has the inevitable effect of undermining the confidence of the public in the Judiciary.
