Women's empowerment has become a significant topic of discussion in development and economics. It can also point to approaches regarding other trivialized genders in a particular political or social context.
Women's economic empowerment refers to the ability for women to enjoy their rights to control and benefit from resources, assets, income and their own time, as well as the ability to manage risk and improve their economic status and wellbeing.
While often interchangeably used, the more comprehensive concept of gender empowerment refers to people of any gender, stressing the distinction between biological sex and gender as a role. It thereby also refers to other marginalized genders in a particular political or social context.
Land rights offer a key way to economically empower women, giving them the confidence they need to tackle gender inequalities. Often, women in developing nations are legally restricted from their land on the sole basis of gender. Having a right to their land gives women a sort of bargaining power that they wouldn't normally have; in turn, they gain the ability to assert themselves in various aspects of their life, both in and outside of the home. Another way to provide women empowerment is to allocate responsibilities to them that normally belong to men. When women have economic empowerment, it is a way for others to see them as equal members of society. Through this, they achieve more self-respect and confidence by their contributions to their communities. Simply including women as a part of a community can have sweeping positive effects. In a study conducted by Bina Agarwal, women were given a place in a forest conservation group. Not only did this drive up the efficiency of the group, but the women gained incredible self-esteem while others, including men, viewed them with more respect. Participation, which can be seen and gained in a variety of ways, has been argued to be the most beneficial form of gender empowerment. Political participation, be it the ability to vote and voice opinions, or the ability to run for office with a fair chance of being elected, plays a huge role in the empowerment of women. However, participation is not limited to the realm of politics. It can include participation in the household, in schools, and the ability to make choices for oneself. It can be said that this latter participation need to be achieved before one can move onto broader political participation. When women have the agency to do what they want, a higher equality between men and women is established. It is argued that microcredit also offers a way to provide empowerment for women. Governments, organizations, and individuals have caught hold of the lure of microfinance. They hope that lending money and credit allows women to function in business and society, which in turn empowers them to do more in their communities. One of the primary goals in the foundation of microfinance was women empowerment. Loans with low interest rates are given to women in developing communities in hopes that they can start a small business and provide for her family. It should be said, however, that the success and efficiency of microcredit and microloans is controversial and constantly debated.
Many of the barriers to women's empowerment and equity lie ingrained in cultural norms. Many women feel these pressures, while others have become accustomed to being treated inferior to men. Even if men, legislators, NGOs, etc. are aware of the benefits women's empowerment and participation can have, many are scared of disrupting the status quo and continue to let societal norms get in the way of development.
Research shows that the increasing access to the internet can also result in an increased exploitation of women. Releasing personal information on websites has put some women's personal safety at risk. In 2010, Working to Halt Online Abuse stated that 73% of women were victimized through such sites. Types of victimization include cyber stalking, harassment, online pornography, and flaming.[16] Sexual harassment in particular is a large barrier for women in the workplace. It appears in almost all industries, but is most notable in the following: business, trade, banking and finance, sales and marketing, hospitality, civil service, and education, lecturing and teaching According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), sexual harassment is a clear form of gender discrimination based on sex, a manifestation of unequal power relations between men and women. Furthermore, the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) is urging for increased measures of protection for women against sexual harassment and violence in the workplace. 54% (272) had experienced some form of workplace sexual harassment. 79% of the victims are women; 21% were men.
Recent studies also show that women face more barriers in the workplace than do men. Gender-related barriers involve sexual harassment, unfair hiring practices, career progression, and unequal pay where women are paid less than men are for performing the same job. When taking the median earnings of men and women who worked full-time, year-round, government data from 2014 showed that women made $0.79 for every dollar a man earned. The average earnings for working mothers came out to even less—$0.71 for every dollar a father made, according to a 2014 study conducted by the National Partnership for Women and Children. While much of the public discussion of the "wage gap" has focused around women getting equal pay for the same work as their male peers, many women struggle with what is called the "pregnancy penalty." The main problem is that it is difficult to measure, but some experts say that the possibility of having a baby can be enough for employers to push women back from their line. Therefore, women are put in a position where they need to make the decision of whether to maintain in the workforce or have children. This problem has sparked the debate over maternity leave in the United States.
However, despite the struggle for equal pay in the United States, the tech industry has made progress in helping to encourage equal pay across gender. In March 2016, tech career website Dice released a study of more than 16,000 tech professionals that found that when you compare equivalent education, experience and position, there is no pay gap—and hasn't been for the last six years. This new industry is paving a way for other companies to do the same. However, this industry also struggles to employ women in executive positions. This is partially due to the barrier of sexual harassment and pregnancy that was aforementioned.
Such barriers make it difficult for women to advance in their workplace or receive fair compensation for the work they provide.

Suggestions please. Right To Information Act.
---
Under the rule of the Britishers, Official Secrecy Act (1932) was passed, upbringing a culture of red tape and deep-rooted corruption in the government. Mired in this culture was found a public office refusing to pay the wages of some workers in 2002 -- prompting Aruna Roy and several others to sit on a dharna demanding to know the reason. The National Campaign for People's Right to Information (NCPRI) was born.
UPA government's National Advisory Council prepared a draft that was tabled in the Parliament in 2004 -- but the torch-bearer of the NCPRI movement demanded several amendments. A key demand was the inclusion of all levels of the government, not just the Union Government. It was finally passed in 2005.
Under the Right To Information (RTI) Act, 'information' is defined as any document, email, evidence, opinion or decision by an official. Hailed by the masses as a key piece of legislation in putting the power of democracy into the hands of the people, the Act brought accountability and transparency to the government machinery, that could no longer make arbitrary or corrupt decisions. Every RTI filing is required to be solved expeditiously within thirty days.
Surprisingly, RTI is used to block office resources or harass even honest officials. An amendment to ascertain and recover the true cost of an RTI inquiry can be made, thereby discouraging frivolous filings. In the last ten years, 29 activists have been killed while over 260 attacks have been made. Legislations like Whistleblower Act (2011) need to be implemented with greater vigor.
Nonetheless, it is a historic step in empowering the common man and changing the face of governance in India.

Puys your reviews on GST -262 words
The present taxation system in India includes several taxes like VAT, sales tax, service tax etc levied by both the central and state governments resulting in cascading of taxes, complex tax structure. Goods and service Tax(GST), introduced as 101st constitutional amendment act and likely to rollout from 1st July 2017, will merge all the indirect taxes into a single tax.
It is levied at all stages right from manufacture up to final consumption with credit of taxes paid at previous stages available as a setoff.India implements dual GST, with centre levying central GST(CGST) and Integrated GST(IGST), while the state levying state GST(SGST) on the supply of goods and services.The tax rates would be at 4 slabs of 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%.Luxury goods will be taxed at 28% and daily needs at 5%.The present taxation system will continue for - alcohol, electricity, petroleum products.
The benefits of GST include uniformity of tax structure, removal of cascading of taxes and improved competitiveness among industries reducing the cost of locally manufactured goods making them competitive in the international market.GST will also make tax administration easier plugging leakages resulting in higher revenue efficiency. However, it will make services like banking, telecom expensive. A great coordination between the centre and state governments for tax administration, robust IT infrastructure, finalisation of GST rates are some of the roadblocks in its implementation.
Despite the various impediments to the proposed transition, once implemented GST is likely to usher in a more taxpayer friendly regime and would be a very significant step in the field of indirect tax reforms in India
