Great advances had been happening in many parts of India for women in relation to health, education, employment, quality of work life, quality of family life, work life balance and so many over the past decades. However, in some cases activities against women are increasing. Women exempted from decision making in all areas at all levels, the discriminatory laws governing marriage, land, property and inheritance issues are widely prevalent in India. In addition, women empowerment and gender equality has seen many transformations in the past decade, such as addressing HIV/AIDS, trafficking in women and girls, making the new information and communication technologies (ICT) reachable for women to empower them. However, there is still room for improvement in various areas in India. This study measures the working women professional�s empowerment in urban Ernakulam district. Kerala is empowered in critical areas like education, economic opportunity, health and wellbeing, decision making, sexual harassment and abuse and autonomy. The research methodology adopts a descriptive and explanatory empirical design by collecting data from around hundred working professionals in academics and industries in both public and private sector.
