The paper focuses on the essentials of women empowerment and its impact on global economic growth and development. It defines women empowerment as a revolutionary approach to transform power relations to favour women in order to narrow the gender gaps between men and women so that gender equality is established in society and gender inequality which characterizes the patriarchal society is prevented. Empowering women is making women independent of social control and controlling gender disparity. Society in any part of the world is male dominated, and patriarchy does not favour right and freedom to women in equality with men’s right and freedom. Women empowerment changes social life and prevents gender inequality which blocks the path of women’s honour and dignity. Education, training, awareness, and financial support are the basis of women empowerment. Women need to be socially, politically and economically empowered to develop the world. Without women empowerment gender equality is impossible and women empowerment leads to gender equality that paves the way for sustainable development.
