It has been repeatedly emphasised with strong evidence by right-minded persons with expertise in various fields that, even if 25% of the vast potential of women is mobilised for development and growth, national and global economies would stand to gain substantially. What then holds back the powerful and the decision-makers? Is it the backlog of entrenched patriarchy, fossilised mind-sets that refuse to change, or sheer mindlessness and a deep-seated desire to keep intact the unjust status quo? Well, these need to go, just as hundreds of myths, superstitions and wrong and unjust practices have been discarded over the years in the dazzling light of science, knowledge and humanism. The dignity of the human being, irrespective of enforced class, caste, gender, religion, ethnicity and the like, similarly needs to be acknowledged and actualised.
I am heartened to see a group of young scholars, mainly women, come together to voice their views on the subject of "Women Empowerment" and its diverse forms while also pointing out some practical methods to bring about the desired change. The papers here reveal a strong foundation of well- studied opinions and findings. My felicitations to all the contributors who have helped to bring out this highly readable edition of the Christ College Research Series.
