Although there have been advancements in the past decades, progress has been slow, uneven, and often insufficient. At the core of this ongoing inequality lies the question of power and the dynamics of power imbalances that consistently disadvantage women, perpetuating ideologies and systems of patriarchy in various forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a timely re-examination of gender inequality as the world looks forward to achieving gender equality by the '2030 agenda.' Through a contextualized framework, it explores the dimensions of women’s exclusion from power, justice, and entitlements. The text delves into gender inequality in relation to state institutions, women’s vulnerability, and the interconnections between the local and global spheres, including the role of the United Nations in addressing these issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book provides theoretical perspectives on exclusion, explores the limitations and potential of state-driven gender policies, and discusses the implications of women’s empowerment in the context of political participation, economic development, and judicial frameworks. It also investigates the vulnerability of women, considering issues like \"honour killings,\" violence in conflict zones, and the empowerment of marginalized groups, including Muslim women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is a comprehensive resource for researchers, teachers, students, gender policy planners, and civil society activists, offering valuable insights into the ongoing challenges and efforts for gender equality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction: Contextualizing the Issue\u003c\/strong\u003e – Asha Kaushik\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart I: Conceptual Concerns\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower and Exclusion of Women: A Theoretical Perspective – Asha Kaushik\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWomen Empowerment: Emerging Issues and Challenges – Ameer Sultana\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmpowerment of Women: A Study of Gender Justice Perspectives in Political Philosophy – Rahul Chaudhary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart II: Institutional Ramifications: Potential and Limits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4.
