Good morning,
Today I am going to talk about a serious topic, something that's very important for society yet trivialized.
Women Empowerment.
Empowering Women is an important part of strengthening the economy, of building the community and enlightening the society.
Women’s empowerment can be defined to promote women’s sense of self-worth, their ability to determine their own choices, and their right to influence social change for themselves and others.
Women’s empowerment and promoting women’s rights have emerged as a part of a major global movement and are continuing to break new ground in recent years. Days like International Women’s Empowerment Day are also gaining momentum.
In the developing world, girls and women are often seen as less valuable than boys. Instead of being sent to school, they are often made to do domestic work at home or are married off for a dowry before they are adults. As many as 12 million underage girls are married every year.
While some progress is being made in various parts of the world, there is still a great deal left to be done to right the problems of gender inequality.87⅞
As Emma Watson said, "Gender equality not only liberates women but also men from prescribed gender stereotypes."
When women and girls are supported, they gain opportunities to speak up for their rights, and also to advocate for their communities. They are also able to rise in social standing, and they can feed this into future generations.
Thank you. :)
