Women empowerment

Women empowerment is a new phrase in the vocabulary
of gender literature.In a general sense,it refers to
empowering women to be self-dependent by providing them
access to all the freedoms and opportunities, which they
were denied in the past only because of their being women.
In a specific sense, women empowerment refers to
enhancing their position in the power structure of the
society.Empowerment of women 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 resource 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.
