The diploma thesis proceeds from the well-established theoretical assumption that the empowerment of women and promotion of gender equality is not only moral goal in itself but also the only way towards development of a nation as it, in the end, benefits the entire society. Case study, tracking the progress of women´s empowerment in ten countries of Southeast Asia over the last 25 years was used to provide for clear comparison. Further examination of the five selected indicators of women´s empowerment - adolescent fertility, contraceptive prevalence, total fertility, employment and political representation - revealed both the strongest and the weakest parts of each country. These findings were later used to propose tailored measures and policies, implementation of which could lead to further empowerment of women in Southeast Asia.
