Women empowerment is a concept that has been subjected to a lot of questions over the years. There will always be a section of the society who will consider women inferior to men and thus oppose the movements to uplift them. However, liberals have raised the question that does women need to be empowered. According to them, women are already empowered; they are strong and equal to men, and what we need is to reform the society that makes them feel weak.

Keeping all the perspectives in mind, women empowerment is a significant and vital issue that must be discussed and reflected upon by us. Women have received lower wages than men in the employment sectors for a long time. It was the second wave of the Feminist Movement in the USA that fought against economic discrimination and demanded that women receive equal pay for equal work along with vacations and maternity benefits.
