The biological weakness of a women makes her an easy prey particularly to whom it may concern; physical domination. She is often victim of physical and mental violence not only outside her home but also inside the home. Every society accepting the importance of equality of sexes has therefore, made affirmative provisions against gender discrimination1. However, in spite of the enactment of these provisions, equality between men and women continues to be an elusive goal. Hence, women are deprived of basic freedom and thereby easily exposed to exploitation. The concept of vulnerability hinges on the idea of agency. | | Keywords : | | |
