Despite this constitutional framework, the lived reality of Indian women reflects persistent socio-economic inequalities, gender-based discrimination, and violence. This paper critically reviews the role of the Constitution in advancing women\u2019s empowerment, highlights gaps between constitutional ideals and societal practices, and assesses the impact of legal provisions on women\u2019s status in contemporary India. The analysis draws upon constitutional debates, legislative enactments, judicial pronouncements, and scholarly discourse. Findings suggest that while constitutional safeguards have created enabling conditions, structural barriers and patriarchal norms hinder full realization of gender justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Indian Constitution, Women Empowerment, Gender Equality, Fundamental Rights, Social Justice, Patriarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 183-193<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/183-193.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Dr. Srikanta Nandi &amp; Pallabi Banerjee DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/03040017 Abstract: The Indian Constitution, as the supreme law of the land, has laid the foundation for gender equality and women\u2019s empowerment through various provisions, including Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles of State Policy, and affirmative action measures.
