Abstract: Women empowerment is a debatable matter. At earlier time they were getting equal status with other men. But they had faced some difficulties during post-Vedicand epic ages. From early twenty century their statuses have been changed slowly and gradually. After the, Independence of India, the national leaders strongly demand equal social position of women with men. It is the matter of joy that, today the women occupied the respectable positions in all walks of the fields. Yet, they have not absolutely free of some discrimination and harassment. They were not allowed to own property, they did not have a share in the property of their parents, they had no voting rights, had no freedom to choose their work or job and so on. In a word, they were indifferent from the patrimonial societies. Now that we have come out of those dark days of oppression of women there is a need for strong movement to fight for the rights of women and to ensure that they get all the rights which men have or in other words a movement for the empowerment of women of the society. Whatever, the discrimination against women, it is always culture specific. In this context, the empowerment of tribal women is so essential. Generally the Tribals are deprived of their rights to livelihood. The languages, cultures, social arrangements are side lined by the established majority, dominant groups religious. The struggles for assertion are brutally suppressed. This paper gives a broad overview about the tribal women empowerment India, highlighting certain related issues that need to be addressed for making equal world.
Introduction
‘Empowerment’ means to invest with power. It is defined as the ability to influence the behaviour of others with or without restraint. Generally it is an individual item of self -development.
