INTRODUCTION In India, more than 325 million people live below the poverty line, and 70 percent of the world’s poor are women. Many don’t have access to financial services due to this they used to have trouble saving money and they were looking for a way to build up their savings, so in this situation, microfinance plays a major role to help out those needy peoples. In the field of microfinance, there were surveys going on but according to the Global Findex survey, there was only 5 per cent of women’s who receive bank loans in their account as compared to 11 percent in China and also according to the sixth economic census only 98 per cent of women work in the informal sector out of which they prefer entrepreneurship in India1. Microfinance is the basic structure of financial services to the poor. These financial services may take the form of micro-savings, microcredit, and micro insurance. Microfinance also refers to microcredit2. Microfinance is commonly used in consigning issues related to poverty alleviation, financial support to micro-entrepreneurs, gender development, etc. It is one of the most management present in emerging countries and developing countries (mainly in India and Africa). Microfinance plays a vital role in increasing women’s participation in economic activities and decision making in which poor women who have the opportunities to access credit or avail loans to get rid of poverty by creating job opportunities other than their traditional households responsibilities but this time women have something for themselves and their children without too much becoming depending on their husband’s salary or income. According to Merriam Webster, it states, “The act or action of empowering someone or something which granting of the power, right, or authority to perform variously acts or duties”. Hashemi, Schuler, and Riley (1996) added that empowerment strengthens the innate by way of acquiring knowledge, power, and experience while Baltiwala (1994) stated that it also includes control over resources that are physical, human intellectual, and financial and over the ideology that is beliefs, values, and attitudes. Nevertheless, Mayoux (2000) gave three common notions in empowerment that is change, choice, and power. 1 H.P Singh, Microfinance and Women Empowerment, Financial Express (Jan. 23, 2019, 5:58 PM), https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/why-micro-finance-and-women-empowerment-go-hand-in- hand/1452759/ 2Microfinance,https://www.ada-microfinance.org/en/about-ada/definition-of- microfinance#:~:text=Definition%20of%20microfinance%20%3A,having%20little%20or%20no%20income. www.lasenatusscriptors.com LA SENATUS SCRIPTORS LAW JOURNAL VOLUME 1: ISSUE 2 June-July, 2020 II.

The report deals with the problem and throws light on how the absence of effective definition and law, to deal with trade in ‘Human Misery’ is proving handicap in protecting the Constitutional and Human Rights of the individuals and that the already marginalised sections of the society are the most affected. The report is a clear indication of how the unequal status of women in our society can lead to atrocities, exploitation & innumerable assault on her body, mind and soul, in each and every stage of their lives beginning from womb to helpless old age. The female foeticide in Haryana and Punjab; on one hand, if it is killing several innocent lives before they open the eyes on the other is causing serious gender imbalance which finally is devastating the lives of equally other who have been lucky enough to see this world. Like breeds the like, the evil of killing females in womb is giving rise to a chain of several other social evils of which the female gender is at the receiving end.
