This edited volume contains 18 articles which stated the women empowerment,women participation in social,economic,politics and in various institutions focusing on depreciation of women in area of education,health,governance,employment,social security,social justice and in developmental process.All these issued were discussed by the authors especially in South Asia. Wide gender gap and low gender role in the economic development may harm growth and sustainability because women contribution in national income is two third which is unpaid and unaccounted. Gender Development Indices in South Asian Countries are very low in comparison to developed nations. Gender poverty is uncovered to the Government.The religious role in the space of women’s deprivation is excluded in the policies to Government. All are discussed in the articles of this volume.

My article especially explains the deprivation of Dalit women who are exploited from every corners of the social policies, like in law, justice, educational disparity, social exclusion, and they are frequently raped and murdered and forced to surrender their free labour and untouched to every sections of the society. They are exploited and excluded from social transformation.
