Later in life, her situation declined. It appears that most women still do not have equal standing. The issues of women and gender justice have persisted throughout all periods of social development history. The social and economic standing of the nation shifts when women’s status improves. Women have a significant role in our society. From the moment of birth till the end of their lives, they perform a multitude of important functions in our society. She may have played every function and completed every task in today’s world promptly and effectively, yet she is still powerless as males continue to be the dominant gender in society. Women’s status is a difficult topic to describe and a complex issue. The position of women varies greatly throughout societies and cultures worldwide. An Indian woman possessed four distinct roles and statuses. She fulfilled these duties as a mother, a housewife, a wife, and a daughter. Wide-ranging changes are already occurring for women, whose position and role in society were once well defined and nearly unchangeable. Approximately 50% of the world’s population is female. Globally, a sizable portion of women are unemployed. Due to women’s unequal opportunities at work, the global economy suffers greatly.
