Women empowerment - Ideas

 Women’s sense of self worth

       

   There are many definitions of empowerment because it is linked to the culture/ nation /state of development/ structure women live in. 

But for me, empowerment for women means that they are able to have a conscience of their own about how to lead their life.
 This is the first step. 

The second step is to have a society and a community that allows them to pursue the way they want to live their life. 

Empowering a woman is giving her the instrument that enables her to decide what she would prefer. 
This is the key notion of selfhood.

 There are some cultures where women are not allowed to think of themselves in terms of selfhood and to be a person who has right to think, to feel, to choose and to participate politically, economically.”
