Abstract

Education is a mile stone for women empowerment because it enables them to respond to opportunities, to challenge their traditional roles and to change their lives. If social status of women is to be uplifted, education should be viewed as an agent of basic change for the status of women. Empowerment of women means equal status to women. Equal ownership of productive resources, increased participation in economic and commercial sectors, awareness of their right and responsibilities, improved standards of living and acquiring self reliance, self esteem and self confidence. Education would surely liberate or equip women with ability to take control of her life, accomplish her dreams and enhance her status; educated women are empowered women. Women and men are the two wheels of our society. Everyone should have equal rights and opportunities to service in that society.
