| Article Name : | | | CONCEPT AND APPROACH OF EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN : SPECIAL REFERENCE TO NAGPUR DISTRICT | | Author Name : | | | NEELIMA DESHMUKH AND RAMESH PRASAD DWIVEDI | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | ISRJ-43 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile | | Abstract : | | | There are a variety of understandings of the term empowerment due to its
widespread usage. If empowerment is looked upon in terms of ability to make choices: to
be disempowered therefore, implies to be denied choice. The notion of empowerment is
that it is inescapably bound up with the condition of disempowerment and refers to the
processes by which those who have been denied the ability to make choices acquire such
ability. Thus, there could be statistical swells indicating improvements in indicators of
gender equality, but unless the intervening process involved women as agents of that
change, one cannot term it as 'empowerment'. | | Keywords : | | - women's
