Abstract

Empowering women is a crucial topic in today's world that demands ongoingdiscussions. This concept encompasses various aspects, such as women'sentitlement to make decisions and have choices, access to resources andopportunities, control over their lives both at home and in society, and theirinfluence on social trends. Additionally, women's self-esteem remains a critical.factor in empowering them. For a long time, it was thought that women wereinherently less capable than males, more easily frightened, and less suited tointellectually demanding occupations than those in the home. As a result, womenwere seen as commodities to be used as a man saw fit. The role of womenevolved significantly in the late twentieth century, influenced by cultural, political,economic, social, and environmental developments. Women have broken awayfrom traditional gender roles and changed their perceptions.
