Women empowerment
World Bank says:
“Empowerment is the process of increasing
the capacity of individuals or groups to make
choices and to transform those choices into
desired actions and outcomes.”
Definition
• “Empowerment is the process of
increasing the authority and
responsibility of individuals or groups to
make choices and to transform those
choices into desired actions and
outcomes”.
Women's empowerment has five
components:
• Women's sense of self-worth;
• Their right to have and to
determine choices;
• Their right to have access to
opportunities and resources;
• Their right to have the power to
control their own lives, both
within and outside the home;
• And their ability to influence the
direction of social change to
create a more just social and
economic order, nationally and
internationally.
Women Empowerment
• Women Empowerment refers to
increasing the spiritual, political,
social, educational, gender, or
economic strength of individuals
and communities of women.
