Abstract

Women have been and continue to be equal partners in the overall growth and development of the family, community, and society. Women constitute an important segment of society and shape the future of individuals, nations, and humanity. It has been rightly said that behind every successful man is a woman. This clearly indicates that women, as an integral part of our society, have a vital role not only for rearing and bearing children but also for the personality development of our future generations and the development of the Punjab as a whole. Every country guarantees its citizens equal treatment before the law and equal protection under the law. Moreover, equal opportunity in employment and other matters is guaranteed by constitutional provisions in every civilized country. The Indian Constitution also guarantees equality and equal opportunity to all citizens, irrespective of their race, caste, sex, religion, or region. Equality between men and women does not mean that women should do all that men do and be allowed to do it in the same manner as men do. Equality meant that women should be granted equal opportunities with men in education, employment, political participation, and personal and family affairs. Democracy is counterfeit currency if womanhood is devalued politically, economically, socially, and culturally. It has been found that women are lagging behind almost in every sphere, but their vital role in building the family cannot be underestimated. Our socialists Democratic Republic will be robbed of its finer resources if our mothers, sisters, and daughters are downgraded both covertly and overtly, regardless of the state power operator’s double speak. The first task of an avant-garde institution charged with a semi-net obligation to secure dynamic equality for women is to render gender justice through educational empowerment.
