Empowerment is a process that allows women to access resources and give them control over their lives, a sense of independence and greater self-confidence.
Empowering a woman means that she has the collective ability to do certain things. This leads to the elimination of discrimination between women and men and is effective in combating gender discrimination in society.
During the process of empowerment, women heads of households and socially harmed women learn how to defend their rights to independent choice and control over resources, which leads to the disappearance of their inferior position in society, and to get out of the cycle of social harms, through gaining skills and sustainable employment.
