WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

Women's empowerment (or female empowerment) is the process of empowering women.It may be defined in several ways, including accepting women's viewpoints or making an effort to seek them, raising the status of women through education, awareness, literacy, and training. Women's empowerment equips and allows women to make life-determining decisions through the different problems in society.

They may have the opportunity to redefine gender roles or other such roles, which in turn may allow them more freedom to pursue desired goals

There are several principles defining women's empowerment such as, for one to be empowered, they must come from a position of dis empowerment. They must acquire empowerment themselves rather than have it given to them by an external party. Other studies have found that empowerment definitions entail people having the capability to make important decisions in their lives while also being able to act on them. Empowerment and dis empowerment are relative to the other at a previous time; as such, empowerment is a process rather than a product.

Scholars have identified two forms of empowerment, economic empowerment and political empowerment.

one said that empowering women "puts a strong emphasis on participation in political structures and formal decision-making and, in the economic sphere, on the ability to obtain an income that enables participation in economic decision-making."

People engage in public debate and make demands on government for health care, social security and other entitlements.In particular, education empowers women to make choices that improve their children's health, their well-being, and chances of acquiring survival skills. Education informs others of preventing and containing a disease. Such education empowers women to make choices that can improve their welfare, including marrying beyond childhood and having fewer children.

Education is not universally available and gender inequalities persist. A major concern in many countries is not only the limited numbers of girls going to school, but also the number of educational pathways for those that step into the classroom. There are efforts to address the lower participation and learning achievement of girls in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education.
