Women empowerment is the key slogan of all the Governments after Independence but the women in India are still victim of gender discrimination. Recent order of Vice-Chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University banning entry of female students in library is a classic example. Thanks to the Hon’ble Allahabad High Court which set aside the order and allowed female students to enter into library for studies without any discrimination. Women constitute nearly 50% of economically active population but they have hardly any say in decision making system because women are still considered less capable than man in our society. There are only two female judges out of 30 judges in the Supreme Court and only 58 judges out of 669 judges of High Courts. The representation of women in Parliament and State Assemblies is also very poor. The situation is not improving because 33% reservation for women in political system is being opposed by male dominated Parliament. The compassionate appointments were also denied to the married daughters but Hon’ble Madras High Court recently ruled that there cannot be any discrimination between a married son and a married daughter in the matter of granting compassionate appointment to the wards of a deceased employee. The society cannot develop and proper without equal participation of women
