Empowerment

Empowerment is the process of enabling individuals or groups to gain control over their own lives, make decisions, and take action to achieve their goals. It involves increasing one’s confidence, skills, and resources, thereby enhancing their ability to participate fully in social, economic, and political spheres. Empowerment can occur on various levels, including personal, community, and organizational, and often focuses on fostering autonomy and self-determination. The concept is frequently applied in contexts such as social justice, education, and leadership, emphasizing the importance of providing support, knowledge, and opportunities for individuals to realize their potential and advocate for their rights.
