JOURNEY OF WOMEN: BEYOND EQUALITY
AND EMPOWERMENT
A National Seminar on 23rd March, 2011
organized by Women’s Studies Centre, Bethune College (UGC
approved), Kolkata
Conference Note:
In its struggle for economic and political freedom, society has
always tried to move towards the ideal of equality for all. The wage
for equality and liberty has been the motive of many mass movements.
However, comprehensive equality among men and women in all spheres of
life is to be realized only by the march of human societies along the
long and diverse paths of ‘progress’. The power relations that impede
women’s attainment of healthy and fulfilling lives operate at many
levels of the society, from the most personal to the decidedly public.
Equality and empowerment of women is recognized globally as key
element to achieve progress in all areas. In India, in Spite of there
being a Constitutional provision for Equal Rights for both men and
women, in practice, discrimination still reigns. Also palpable are the
women who are financially independent but often do not get the
opportunity to take and implement vital decisions at the familial
sphere as well as in the workplace. The final verdict often lies in
the hands of patriarchal authorities because the ‘moral’ framework of
the society is still guided by the male perception. Thus, in spite of
economic and political freedom, the concept of women’s ‘advancement’
is to be envisaged beyond the conventional framework of ‘empowerment’.
Though the issues of economic and political liberation of women are
still relevant in a developing society like ours, the horizon of
empowerment has to be extended beyond the politico-economic agenda.
Emergence of a ‘woman’ beyond her stereotypical image and attainment
of ‘equality’ in the true sense of the term in all spheres of life are
the aspects that are to be addressed in order to ensure a healthy and
fulfilling ‘quality of life’.
