Mahatma Gandhi’s View on Women Empowerment

Equality of Sexes.  Dowry System.  Education

Equality of sexes   Women must realize their full status and play

their part as equals of men.

system. Young men who demand dowry should be excommunicated. 

Education for Women“……… to free her from mental slavery

and to teach her dignity of national service and the service of humanity.”

Emerson’s Support for Women’s Suffrage

“If women feel wronged then they are wronged...I should vote for every franchise for women.” —Emerson

In 1855, he described the women’s movement as “no whim, but an organic impulse…”

He argued that if women were denied suffrage, they should also not be taxed.

Let’s Recognize Women’s Contribution

Women had played vital roles in different political and literary movements of our country, specially in 1971.

Their contribution is mostly neglected. They are represented as victims. Their role as freedom fighters in 1971 is not that

much focused.
