Abstract: An attempt has been made to explore Abraham Maslow’s idea of the hierarchy of needs which is treated as one of the most widely accepted needs theories. This paper is basically descriptive in nature.For the sake of simplicity different kinds of needs have been highlighted. According to Maslow, a person’s attempt to satisfy their five basic needs—physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization which leads to motivation. The lowest level demands are prioritized higher in the hierarchy of needs. The findings revealed that a person needs these things in order to survive and be healthy. Social unease among women persists today due to historical injustices against them, even in the face of societal shifts and a more accepting view toward them. Women are increasingly aware of their responsibilities and rights these days. Additionally, they take an active interest in all extracurricular and academic pursuits. They have male competition in every field. Their motivation  especially towards love and belongingness help to reduce the gender gap in the society.
