Kruthika S Kumar, Dr. Vikrama D K
Societal capacity building of women is very imperative for conquest of gender equity. Education, policy, and grassroots actions play fundamental roles in this course. This work notices how access to education, inclusive strategies, and grassroots engagement leads to increased gender impartiality by uplifting women societally, economically, and politically. Education provides the bedrock for knowledge, skill advancement, and confidence, pioneering women to question traditional gender roles and involve oneself wholly in decision-making practices. Integrative policies, such as those reassuring equal pay, anti-discrimination, and reproductive rights, generate institutional arrangements that upkeep women's progression in society. Grassroots movements, normally enforced by women, have played a main role in piloting transformation, bolstering for women's rights, and challenging paternalistic norms at the community level. Through case studies from various areas, this attempt stresses the interrelation between education, policy, and grassroots initiatives in advancing women's social rank. The manuscript also discovers hurdles such as cultural norms, paucity of resources, and formal resistance, offering sanctions for enhancing the effectiveness of these efforts. Eventually, the research put emphasis on approach combining education, policy reform, and grassroots backing is essential to achieving enduring gender equality and social upliftment of women.
