“…As discussed in the previous section, women's empowerment is a significant aspect of empowerment. Women's empowerment can be defined as a process that requires preconditions that can facilitate the processes that expand women's agency or the ability to make choices, which in turn determines the outcomes that have direct implications on their welfare (Siddaraju, 2019;Muberekwa & Nkomo, 2016). Even today, women's empowerment depicts the social process that grants women the pathway to autonomy and this has always been a topic of discussion that has been closely knitted with gender equality (Cin, Gümüş & Weiss, 2021).…”

“…It was noted that many of the studies defined women's empowerment as achieving equal social status as men. Women's empowerment is a process through which women come to recognize their inherent worth (Siddaraju, 2019), and begin to participate on equal terms with men in efforts to dismantle patriarchy and promote social and economic development. As acceptable as this statement may seem, it is extremely important to note that a woman's empowerment is not defined by the respect and acknowledgement she receives from the opposite gender.…”

“…Gender equality does not mean that men and women are the same or equal and need to have a fair share of something. Rather, it characterizes social conditions and relationships in which a vision of mutuality and cooperation shapes interactions and enables men and women to reach their full potential (Siddaraju, 2019;Odigwe et al, 2017).…”

“…Hence, literacy acts as a gateway for women to seek information and raise awareness on issues that matter to them and womanhood in general. Thus, a good command of literacy has been identified as a key domain in successful instances of women's empowerment (Siddaraju, 2019;Odigwe et al, 2017;Stromquist, 2015).…”

“…In order to improve the status of women in India, the efforts need to get the support, assistance, understanding, and involvement from the major partner -the 'male' of the society. (p. 457) It is imperative to address equal participation of men to mitigate violence against women, a crucial but fundamental aspect of women's empowerment (Siddaraju, 2019;Odigwe et al, 2017;Stromquist, 2015). They further call for the support and participation of men in the promotion of women's empowerment especially in terms of women's access to knowledge.…”

Over the centuries, the notion of women’s empowerment has created an immense effect on both women and men. This research aims to study the influence of the English language in shaping the concept of women’s empowerment amongst undergraduate students in a private university in Malaysia. The objectives of this study are to identify male and female undergraduates’ perception towards women’s empowerment and to investigate the correlation between the role of the English language and the undergraduates’ perceptions towards women’s empowerment. This study is based on a correlational research design that includes 570 undergraduates from 6 distinct faculties. T-test and regression analysis were done to test the correlation between the variables and their significance. The findings of this study established that there is a significant difference between male and female students’ perceptions that indicates that female and male participants have varying perceptions towards women’s empowerment. With the English language playing a significant role in shaping the perception of women’s empowerment, the female participants were self-aware of how engagement in the English language can enhance the extent of their empowerment. Projection of the findings also addressed the growing importance of literacy as a mediator in the relationship between the English language and women’s empowerment.

The dignity of the women and their strengthening position in society could be secure when they have sound economic empowerment. Their decision–making power, potential, commitment, and the right to compete with other genders with equality could also be ensured when they have economic support through income generation projects. Therefore, the study examined the economic empowerment of rural women under MGNREGA. It also reviewed the constraints of women as a labourer, and their status under the Act. Relevant literature like journal, thesis, guidelines of the Act and news reports were used to analyze the study's various aspects using the descriptive method. It was found that the majority of the women in the rural areas depend on the wages they earn from unskilled, casual, and manual work. As most of these jobs are unstable and insecure, workers fought hardship in their families' maintenance during the lockdown. If the government fails to create job opportunities during and after the pandemic Covid-19, poverty and unemployment will lead to dislocation, conflict, alcohol abuse, household disputes, unsettled families, ill-health, abandonment in old age, and death of the head of household, etc. could happen. The most significant outcome of the study is that MGNREGA could play an influential role in the economic empowerment of rural women. It remains a set piece to bring gender equality, end poverty, and achieve inclusive economic growth. A self-sufficient economy with dignity and equality could end all the inhumane acts against women. However, effective implementation of the Act, timely utilisation of wages, and wages revision from time to time to suit the changing scenario is needed to make the Act a subject-oriented one.
