- <p><em>Empowerment of women in general as well as constitutional perspective. It is about Constitutional provision for women and also other factor for women empowerment. Women require social, economic, political, social and legal empowerment. The National women commission was established in 1990. 73rd and 74th amendment played vital role in women empowerment at grass root level. 33% reservation of women at lower level of the democracy increases the participation of women in decision making process. It is subject to sorrow that women reservation bill is pending in parliament which is regarding 33% reservation for women in parliament and State assemblies. </em><em>The principle of gender equality is enshrined in the Indian Constitution in its Preamble, Fundamental Rights, Fundamental Duties and Directive Principles. The Constitution not only grants equality to women, but also empowers the State to adopt measures of positive discrimination in favour of women. Within the framework of a democratic polity, our laws, development policies, Plans and programmes have aimed at womens advancement in different spheres. India has also ratified various international conventions and human rights instruments committing to secure equal rights of women. Key among them is the ratification of the Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in 1993 . In India, the Constitution makers while drafting the Constitution were sensitive to the problems faced by women and made specific provisions relating to them. The Indian Constitution guarantees that there shall be no discrimination on the grounds of gender. There are various legal provisions for women safety and empowerment in Indian Constitution but the irony is, half of the population is unaware of their legal rights. In this paper we will discuss the important constitutional and legal provisions for women empowerment in India.</em></p>
