Women empowerment and gender equality cannot be attained if the protective laws and empowering mechanisms reek of patriarchal notions and stereotypes. There is an urgent need of reassessing the ideology from a constructive angle which goes beyond the popular approach of woman as a victim of her gender. The idea must be redirected in attaining a larger goal of social security for all distressed humans as compared to the charity-like support bestowed under the assumption that women are helpless and are in need of extra protection.
