Women’s empowerment is defined in several ways. It is primarily raising the status of women through education, awareness, and training and making them financially independent. Today, we know it is the key to economic growth, political stability, and social transformation.
In Western countries, female empowerment is often associated with specific phases of the women’s rights movement in history. This movement tends to be split into three waves, the first beginning in the 19th and early 20th centuries where suffrage was a key feature. The second wave of the 1960s included the sexual revolution and the role of women in society. Third-wave feminism is often seen as beginning in the 1990s.
Women’s empowerment and promoting women’s rights have emerged as a part of a major global movement and are continuing to break new ground in recent years. Days like International Women’s Empowerment Day are also gaining momentum.
When women are living safe, fulfilled, and productive lives, they can reach their full potential. They can contribute their skills to the workforce and can raise happier and healthier children. They are also able to help fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large.
Women empowerment can create greater trust in leadership, encourage employee motivation, lead to greater creativity and improve employee retention. When girls are educated, healthy and empowered families are healthier.
With higher literacy rates and equal pay for equal work, women are able to survive Financially and rise out of poverty.
