The twin issues of sex equality and women's empowerment have become a matter of international concern while gaining prominence in national development efforts. The UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) which has substantial rate of ratification by the nations of the world signals a new global awareness about the rights of women. Despite the legal victories over the years both at national and international levels the social economic and political status of women has shown remarkably little improvement. There is evidence of alarming rate of sexual and physical violence against women throughout the world in the face of legislations.
