The statuses of women in various ages have gone through changes. We find that from the beginning of civilization where society was patriarchal even then women had an important role in family and society. Almost half of the mankind is really a womankind. This half, in every age and every land, has coexisted with men in a relationship which has varied between complete submission and complete equality. But, in the current era women need an overall empowerment. Though women now-a-days are raising their voice for equal rights and life with dignity but still there is a huge gap. Women participation in decision making bodies is an issue of empowerment and equality and when especially we focus on tribal women, they have been subjected to worst forms of exploitation.
