Positive spillover effect of globalization ascends women empowerment but under corruption benefits of global integration on women empowerment become vulnerable. Results attain through instrumental variable regression analysis reveal that under the presence of corruption benefits of globalization on women empowerment are significantly reduce by 18 percent. This outcome sorts corruption as main hindrance element in trickle-down the fruitful advantages of globalization on women’s betterment. More corrupt the country, less benefits of globalization will be translated to women, and less will be the women empowerment in the country, this fact implies relevance for the policy formalization. Moreover, economic, political and social globalization has positive and significant effect on women empowerment.

Women constitute a high percentage of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) graduates in India but this is not well reflected at the professional level. It is believed that women face numerous challenges, affecting not only their choice of STEM as a career but also their professional and personal lives. Thus, it is essential to understand the underlying causes. The study aims to explore the hurdles faced by women in CSIR laboratories. A primary survey, using questionnaires, was conducted to gain a realistic and holistic view of their experiences of working and the differences they come across in the work environment compared to the other gender. Data was collected from 582 women scientists, technical staff, and students. The survey explored the role of personal, institutional, and social factors responsible for promotions/ hindrances in the scientific career. Analyses were conducted using both quantitative and qualitative data. Insights and suggestions were also sought from the respondents to enhance further understanding and remedial measures. Suitable policies could be framed based on the recommendations for gender equality in STEM.

The goal of this study, From Ego to Empowerment Deconstructing Narcissism in Margaret Atwood's Dystopian Masterpieces, is to identify and evaluate which characters in The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments characterize as Simone de Beauvoir's Narcissist in her theory on the Other. According to this, the narcissist makes their own ego and desires the focus of their universe. They look to other people for approval, exaltation, and attention to boost their sense of worth. This desire for outside approval frequently results from insecurity, which people try to mask by portraying themselves as exceptional. According to the analysis, Paula, Shunammite, Aunt Vidala, Aunt Lydia all exhibit characteristics of a Narcissist. Paula and Shunammite take delight in staging themselves as successful women—the role they create for themselves—and revel to the glory it brings. Aunt Vidala sees herself a righteous woman who gives herself a pass on guilt when she does something terrible, making her mysticism as the cause of her narcissism. Lastly, Aunt Lydia, enjoys her power, as the Aunt with highest authority, which makes the idea of losing it and shrinking back to a normal woman difficult to stomach. The study also examined the Narcissist's role in patriarchal society. The Narcissist's stance illustrates that culture, religion, politics, business, and social norms often justify male dominance in civilizations. Family, religion, culture, tradition, and politics must be re-evaluated to include women as subjects of their own lives and as human rights.

Consuming alcohol is defined as ingesting alcoholic beverages that include ethyl alcohol, such as wine, beer, whiskey, rum, and handmade alcoholic beverages called "Raksi." Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to serious health issues. Thus, this study aimed to assess the awareness regarding alcohol consumption among females in rural areas of Nepal. A cross-sectional and analytical study was designed to assess the level of awareness and practice regarding alcohol consumption. Total 423 females of the 20-50 years age groups, engaged in “Raksi '' preparation sites were selected. The data collection period was from 2021 July to 2022. A face-to-face interview was done with each individual. All questions related to awareness and practice regarding questionnaires were analyzed accordingly in univariate analysis and bi-variate analysis to find out the association between the variables. The result showed that the mean age of the females was 36.08 with a standard deviation of 7.951. and 51.7% were below the mean age of 36. Among 423 females 22.3 % knew AUD, 56.7% were aware of health consequences, and only 13.3% were aware of treatment protocol of health consequences. Females having inappropriate practices of alcohol consumption were 54.2%. There is an association between awareness regarding consumption and religion, marital status, educational status, and occupation with p=0.043, 0.036, 0.046, and 0.033 respectively. Similarly, the inappropriate practice of alcohol consumption has a significant relation with religion, educational status, and occupation with p values of 0.049,0.034, and 0.003 respectively. Even though there is a higher percentage of females were literate, there is a lack of awareness regarding alcohol consumption and inappropriate drinking habits. Further comparative study can be done in this aspect. Simultaneously, awareness and education-related programs can be implemented to address the problem.
