Women make up roughly half of
the world's population, as we all know. Despite such acute awareness and
information, the terrible truth endures. In our society and in the world we
live in, women are frequently denied the opportunity to play a decision-making
role in numerous professions. How can we expect the world to grow when our
patriarchal society's decision-makers are all men? And they're making decisions
on behalf of women without even realizing or beginning to comprehend the
difficulties that women face in their daily lives.
Empowerment is a broad concept,
and everyone's definition is different. However, the general concept of
empowerment is to involve those who are frequently left out of decision-making
processes. In this scenario, women's empowerment comes from their inclusion and
acceptance in such roles. We can't all succeed if half of us aren't allowed to
participate, can we?
Previously, men determined the
position of women in society, which included running a family, being married at
a young age, and dealing with issues such as dowry and accepting various sorts
of abuse in married life. Unlike in ancient times, women are now venturing
outside their houses to work and earn a living in order to support themselves
and their children. As a result, even the rules and ways of working in modern
times must change. Of course, this transition will not occur immediately; any
change is gradual. The first step must be to recognize their contribution to
the economy and to provide them with more chances. It is empowering when women
are given opportunity in terms of education and career in their fields of
interest without any constraints or limitations. This empowers all girls and
women to choose and decide what will improve their social position. It is long
past time for gender roles to be challenged and norms to be shattered.
Empowerment can take many forms; for example, social empowerment occurs when
women in the media are depicted as evolved and worthy individuals rather than
in a regressive light. Economic empowerment occurs when women are treated as
contributors in the same manner that men are and are compensated accordingly.

Education is the most important
type of empowerment because it actually levels the playing field and puts
everyone on an equal footing. It shouldn't matter if someone is a man or a
woman when they are educated as long as they get the job done. That is why
girls should have access to education. These educated girls develop into
self-assured, intelligent, and moral women who excel in all fields and can also
become department leaders and decision-makers. Education is an excellent weapon
for empowering women since it will bridge all other divides in our society, allowing
us to grow as a nation.
