Abstract

The status of women in India has undergone significant changes over millennia, with a rich cultural and religious heritage that reveres women. However, discrimination and mistreatment against women persist in society, rooted in historical norms and stereotypes. This paper aims to shed light on the fundamental rights guaranteed to women under the Indian constitution, the role of Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) in protecting them, and the fundamental duties towards women. By improving various facets such as the state, community, organizations, legislation, and judicial interpretations, women can be treated equally, provided freedom, dignified living, and access to justice. Women’s empowerment, a process that increases women’s options, choices, control, and power, plays a pivotal role in addressing major societal issues such as gender inequality and poverty. This paper emphasizes how the Indian constitution, with its emphasis on gender equality, empowers women. It also discusses the hindrances to women’s empowerment, the protection offered by international law, and presents a concise summary of the overall discussion.
