Abstract

The writers examined education in the context of its need for the women folk. This study throws light on various components of empowerment related to women’s life. For this we tried to find out some solutions and to help the women to understand their position in the society and to make them empowered. In this regard education can be considered as the most important tool for removing the barriers in the path of their empowerment. An educated woman always understands her role and position better in the society in comparison to an uneducated woman. The study is conducted on a sample of b700 women and 100 males selected using purposive sampling technique and representing illiterates and literates having qualification below matric to post graduation. The descriptive survey method is used for data collection using two tools i.e. QWE and ATWE. The study reported that physical harassment and domestic violence pay negative role in women empowerment particularly in case of illiterate rather than their literate counterpart.
