Abstract

Today, women's empowerment is one of the most pressing issues of the twenty-first century. Their standing has steadily evolved since the beginning of the twentieth century. The study discovered that women in India are generally less educated and, despite government efforts, are somewhat inferior to males in that respect. Women working in the informal sector are often illegal, inexperienced, low-paying, and do not get benefits, making them invisible to official statistics. Gender disparities occur in terms of educational and career opportunities. Women's domestic decision-making authority and freedom of mobility vary substantially depending on their age, education, and work position. Research indicates that women continue to accept unfair gender standards in society. This study examines the situation of women's empowerment of Household workers in Surat, India, shedding light on its difficulties and challenges.
