The study was designed to explore the perspective of women on the defining factors of their empowerment. A qualitative approach was used to analyse the data. The data were collected from 30 married women of age, ranged between 23 and 49 years via semi-structured interviews. A thematic analysis approach (Braun & Clarke, 2006) was used and the analysis revealed six major themes: role of parents, husband’s support, education and academic achievements, financial autonomy, social circle, and personal attributes (viz., social skill, selfefficacy, assertiveness, self-esteem, and will power) that the women believed as potential contributing factors in empowering them. The results showed that some of the sub-themes were consistent with the existing literature and few distinctive themes appeared in the data that do not exist in the literature. The study has opened new vistas for future researchers on assessing the determinants of women’s empowerment.
