Empowerment

Empowerment refers to the process of gaining confidence, strength, and the ability to make choices and influence one’s life or environment. It involves providing individuals with the tools, resources, and support necessary to take control of their own circumstances, enabling them to assert their rights, make informed decisions, and act independently. Empowerment can occur on various levels, including personal, social, or political, and often involves fostering a sense of agency and self-efficacy. In social contexts, it often aims to uplift marginalized groups, helping them to overcome barriers and achieve greater participation and representation in society.
