Women empowerment refers to women having the power and agency to determine their own choices and destiny. It involves women participating in decision making in all areas of life from which they were previously excluded, such as financial, social, and economic matters. Empowering women also means raising their status through education and training to increase self-worth and awareness. Economic empowerment gives women the ability to access and benefit from resources and manage risks to improve their economic status and well-being. Several ongoing projects in India work to empower women, such as SEWA which aids informal women workers, Snehalaya which helps disadvantaged women and children, and other programs focused on menstrual health, rural hygiene, and helping abused women.
