Women are often viewed as the one who balances everything of the family with multitasking capabilities. It is during the olden days she was restricted to stay inside the house with lot of responsibilities, but in 21st century women are empowered to become an ardent competitor to men in every field like medical, engineering, information and technology, army, navy, politics, astronaut, advocate, education, sports, service sector, art and culture etc. This is one side of the coin, whereas the other side depicts the discrimination in every field women are facing these aforementioned problems. As per Indian Constitution there is no difference between the rights of men and women, but this patriarchal dominated society is discriminating the women at lower stage. There are so many perceptual differences regarding the women rights. This research is an attempt to understand the type of problem that women are facing of their rights and to let her know about her rights.
