This paper is an attempt tomake a comparative analysis on Women empowerment in seven South Asian countries. Since internationalcomparison provides us a better comparison of status, ranking is compared mainly. This comparison can bedone effectively by comparing few indices like Gender Related Development index, Gender empowermentmeasure, Gender inequality in Education, Gender Inequality in Economic activity, Political EmpowermentMeasure etc. This paper is a small piece of a major research done over this area. This paper has comparedonly the comparative women empowerment indicators like Gender Related Development index and Genderempowerment measure for a point of time and found that women are not in equal status throught thisSouth Asian Region.
