Abstract	Gender equality and women empowerment have been on the top of the agenda globally. Various efforts and initiatives have been taken at global, regional and local level to eliminate gender inequality. Many schemes have been launched by central and state governments to emancipation of women. Women empowerment means women gaining more power and control over their own lives. This paper is an attempt to examine the status of women in Uttar Pradesh and the state as they recognized as an empowered women in reference to India. The study is descriptive in nature and based on secondary data, all the data collected from official report, records, articles and published and unpublished materials, whenever relevant. We examine some indicators as; educational empowerment explore with women literacy rate and female gross enrollment in higher education, economic indicator as working women ratio and for political empowerment we explore women voters turnout and participation in Lok-Sabh and State Assembly, for social condition we explore crime against women and women empowerment in decision making. For health condition; mortality rate indicators and consumption of iron folic acid we explore. We find that the consequences of the gender discrimination are server. The low workforce participation rate of women in Uttar Pradesh is a significant indicator of the socioeconomic challenges faced by women and girls in the state. The sex ratio indicates a significant gender imbalance, which can be attributed to various factors, including sex-selective practices and societal preferences for male children. The suggestive framework emphasizes the multi-faceted approach needed to empower women by both governmental action and grassroots movements. Increasing awareness among women about their rights can significantly contribute to their empowerment and effective participation in various spheres of life. Efforts should focus on education, community engagement and supportive policies to ensure sustained progress towards gender equality.
