Women have faced a lot of challenges during the medieval era but this was changed overtime by vigorous campaigns from reformers and activities, which lead to the promotion of equal rights and reduction of violence against women in India. It is said that the position of women in a society is the society’s index of cultural and spiritual attainment. Today, women struggle to pursue respectable careers and work to survive like their male counterparts. However, women still have challenges that have led to the emergence of numerous women empowerment groups to fight social injustices that inhibit women prosperity. These campaigns mainly focus on fighting illiteracy, sexual harassment etc. lately, there has been a more focused violence against women campaign aimed at educating women to know more about their rights.
