Women are a significant part of every civilization because they comprise half the global population. Promoting women's empowerment and gender equality is not merely a development concern but also a human rights issue in developed and developing countries. In developing countries, women struggle to access their fundamental rights, education, involvement in political and economic activity, and involvement in the household’s decision-making process; Pakistan is no exception. Using the data collected from a survey of 200 households in tehsil Tandlianwala, this study analyses how a woman’s personal and demographic characteristics influence her empowerment. The results suggest that the women who are less educated, unemployed, and living under male dominance are deprived of their fundamental rights, socio-economic and political empowerment, and freedom to make their own decisions compared to their counterparts.
