Abstract:
This paper explores the concept of women's empowerment in India, drawing on the symbolic representation of Goddess Durga in Hinduism as a model of female strength, leadership, and resilience. Durga epresents the qualities women embody when empowered to make meaningful contributions to society. Women's empowerment is presented as a key driver of sustainable development, impacting social, economic, and environmental progress. Empowering women through knowledge, resources, and opportunities leads to widespread benefits for families, communities, and nations. The paper critically examines the gap between the idealized image of women as goddesses and their real-world experiences of oppression, violence, and discrimination. It argues that empowering women requires both recognizing their value and creating systems that ensure equal access to education, employment, healthcare, and justice.
