Women form a sizeable proportion of our population and thus constitute the most important source of human resource development; central to the development of any race, culture, nation or civilization. Empowerment of women has become one of the most important concerns of 21st century. The questions surrounding women's empowerment, the condition and position of women have now become critical to the human rights based approaches to development. Being a worldwide slogan and one of the Millennium Development Goals, women empowerment aims at empowering women in different spheres of life. The political component of empowerment entails the ability to analyze the surrounding environment in political and social terms and the ability to organize and mobilize for social change. The changing political context at the international level allowed women to organize and use national and international political structures to highlight issues of gender inequality. Women’s standing in society has major implications for its economic, social and political functioning. Given the complexity of political, societal and international interrelations, one has to systematically think about the strategies and concrete proposals for future action if one hopes to achieve such a goal. However, the political empowerment of women has not been properly conceptualized, and justified and not much is known about the experiences in women’ political empowerment across nations.
