The contributions of an empowered woman help her gather financial security, social respect, an identity of one’s own, enabling the inception of a virtuous cycle. Handlooms are those artistic creations that are an embodiment of trained craftsmanship, traditional legacy, and a crucial relationship between nature and humans. Indian handlooms are symbolic of the women workforce as the statistics are in favour of their participation rate. This article thus aims to look at how the framing of female handloom workers has taken place underlying the notion of women empowerment and its significance.Downloads
