The thesis was commissioned by Pasupathi Dev Dande who is currently working as the Managing Director of Hana Garments Factory. The purpose of this thesis was to study and investigate the challenges related to the women workforce in the organization. Research was done on how company manages the work and mitigates its challenges. Moreover, in the company the importance of workforce was studied. For this purpose, a case study of women's empowerment was conducted. For the research process, both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used. To collect, analyse and interpret the data, semi-structured interviews, and a questionnaire survey with a series of questions were used.
According to the Women's Empowerment Study (UN women 2004), the diversity of the company's workforce is very crucial to fostering a healthy work atmosphere in which all workers, regardless of their various origins, are treated and appreciated equally. Holistic management approaches were also discovered to foster this atmosphere by enabling individuals to make decisions at work. The study looked at women's roles, opportunities, decision-making, and responsibilities, as well as numerous gender issues and social statuses such as domestic tasks, economic situations, education, health, and involvement in political and decision-making processes.
The primary objective of the study was to examine the state of women's empowerment, with an emphasis on gender inequality, socio-economic, political, and demographic factors. The research found that women's empowerment requires support and assistance not only from their family and society but also from the government. Women lack various opportunities for income, employment, access to decision-making, property ownership, and participation in political parties. The socio-economic status of Nepalese women is poor as majority of them are limited only in household work. Therefore, empowering women is key to addressing their issues and attaining economic growth in the community and the country.
