What is women’s empowerment?
Women’s empowerment can be defined to promoting women’s sense of self-worth, their ability to determine their own choices, and their right to influence social change for themselves and others.
Women empowerment encompasses more than just ensuring that women get their basic rights. In its truest form, women empowerment comprises the aspects of independence, equality as well as freedom of expression. Through this, the real strive lies in ensuring that we bring gender equality. Women’s Empowerment is equipping them with the tools they need to have power and control over their own lives. An empowered woman is independent, is aware of her power and rights, opportunities and takes her own decision that serves her best interest.
As women were not allowed to make decisions for them, women’s empowerment came in like a breath of fresh air.
It made them aware of their rights and how they must make their place in society rather than depending on a man. It recognized the fact that things cannot simply work in someone’s favour because of their gender. It is the process that makes power in individuals women. over their own lives, society, and in their communities. People are empowered once they are ready to access the opportunities available to them without limitations and restrictions like in education, profession, and lifestyle.
- Women's empowerment may be defined in several ways, including accepting women's viewpoints, making an effort to seek them and raising the status of women through education, awareness, literacy, and training.
