Abstract

Women have historically battled for their standing and rights in society. They have been   fighting for equality for a long time in order to lead lifestyles that are exactly like those of men.   Even after independence, they are still at odds. In the current context, a lot of women continue  to struggle with these problems. In Indian culture, women are regarded as goddesses. But   the challenges they face only serve to illustrate the opposite of this notion. People treat them   cruelly and hold less respect for women, yet on the one hand, they revere them as goddesses.  It is common for women to experience marginalization and exclusion due to sociocultural,
socioeconomic, and political factors. Social structures and patriarchal norms ultimately control   the process of empowerment and resource access. Deprivation of the fundamental legal right to   engage in socioeconomic activities; prohibitions on working outside the home; lack of education  and skills; incorrect interpretations and realizations of personal restrictions; shame related to
women's sexual orientation; and household chores. From ancient times to the present, women's   roles have had various ups and downs. Many factors, including economic dependence, caste  restrictions, religious prohibitions, lack of leadership abilities, male-dominated society, dowry   practices, trafficking in girls, prostitution, domestic violence, and sexual harassment, continue
to contribute to women's dissatisfaction with their participation in society today. The paper  will explore the plight of women in the society and within the household. Various policies and   Government schemes will also be discussed in this paper.
