1.11 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

In olden days women were restricted to take part in any social activities not given roles in decision
making in her family. Now the situation has been changed. She is given freedom what she wishes.
In today’s scenario more women are busy in income generating activities. This is because of NGO
and other financial institution came forward to give microfinance to poor women. They believe that
a women is the small credit risk and often benefits the whole family. The main aim of AWAKE is
to empower women.
1.12 THE NEED AND RELEVANCE OF THE STUDY

In older days, men were considered to be leading members of the society that is family they were
responsible for earning livelihood and will take decisions regarding the family. The main problem
faced by women in past and still today is gender discrimination, women education , female
infanticide, dowry, marriage in same caste and child marriage and atrocities on women. Women
were responsible for doing household work. There was a no participation of women in decision
making. As women empowerment helps them to take their own decisions. Women are also
discriminated against gender as they are paid less compared to men for the same work done.
Domestic violence and crime against women are a major problems, men beat up their wife and also
abuse them and were afraid to speak. Thousands of female babies are killed either in womb or after
birth, women empowerment empowers women the right to live.
This is why women empowerment is need to empower women to speak for themselves and to take
decision on their own.
