Empowering women means giving them means to be financially and intellectually independent in their choices on one side, and on the other side, it also means seeding the belief that they are equal to everyone else and that they have the same rights and can choose what and where to be and to do in their lives. This has to percolate down throughout society, men need to change their perspective as well, it is not to be given but earned so that it truly is empowerment and not an endowment men think they can take away.
To me being empowered means having the ability and drive to do what you want to without looking at someone for permission or validation. It’s not the same as not being collaborative or not seeking advice.
With this point of view i have share the dice with some strong, powerful women to facilitate them and feel proud to be the part of such programmes.
