Jurisprudence of Women Empowerment By Shishir Kumar Srivastava

The jurisprudence of women empowerment focuses on the development and interpretation of laws that recognize women as equal rights-bearing individuals and address historical discrimination and social inequality. It emphasizes constitutional values such as equality, dignity, and justice, ensuring women’s access to education, employment, property, and political participation. Through progressive judicial interpretations, courts have expanded the scope of women’s rights by protecting them against violence, exploitation, and discrimination, while also promoting substantive equality rather than mere formal equality. Overall, this jurisprudence plays a crucial role in transforming social attitudes and strengthening women’s position in society.
