Abstract

Empowerment of women is essentially the process of upliftment of the economic, social, and political status of women in society. Women constitute almost 50% of the world's population, but India has shown a disproportionate sex ratio, whereby females' population has been comparatively lower than males. As far as their social status is concerned, they are not treated as equal to men in all places. In Western societies, women have equal rights and status with men in all walks of life. This experiment was conducted at Rajkot District, Gujarat, India during January–July, 2022 to assess the level of empowerment of women by Self Help Groups. A cross sectional study was designed in rural and urban areas of Rajkot district. An open-ended questionnaire was used for data collection on parameters relating to women empowerment through house-to-house survey. Mean age of participants was 31.54±6.45 years, 14.10% were illiterate, majority of women were engaged in agricultural works in their own farm, 77.3% women having pucca type of household and 95.7% were having ownership of their house. About 63.30% women were from medium family size. 31.7% respondents were studied up to std. 5‒8th only and 53.1% having main source of income from agriculture. The condition was worse for rural and urban slum women. 35.8% of the women having cow as household own livestock animal, which was lower in case of urban women. Majority of the women had household assets viz; Pressure cooker, Electric fan, Television, Gas stove and improved grain storage bin. Education, employment had a positive impact on status of women in relation to empowerment.
