Women’s Empowerment
What is women empowerment?
“Women’s empowerment can be defined as 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.”
Why is women empowerment important?
When women are empowered, they have both the ability to reach their full potential and enact positive change in the world.
