3. Social Empowerment
This type of empowerment talks about the social
differences women have gone through. India has made
a lot of progress after its independence. Still, in a few
places, women face injustices regarding health, family
decisions, marriage decisions, childbirth, etc. Having
an equal say in all of these matters can be a way to give
women social empowerment and not limit them to
a certain place.
4. Educational Empowerment
Since historical times, education has been one of the
most important ways for women to acquire equal
socio-economic status. Women were denied the right
to education in previous times. Even today, female
literacy rates across India tend to be lower than in
other nations. As a result, it is the need of the hour to
grant women access to education to help them study
and become the breadwinners of the family.
5. Political Empowerment
Politics is one of the strongest and most compelling
ways to make a difference in society. It gives women
the confidence and skills required to be equal to men
in society. Moreover, the participation of women in
political activities is critical to creating a sustainable
government body.
6. Economic Empowerment
People say money can’t buy happiness, but being at an
economic disadvantage can take away access to
becoming empowered. Being poor, landless, deprived,
or oppressed doesn’t allow access to resources that
those in good financial standings do. Closing this gap
would allow everyone to have equal footing, and
women, in particular, would gain a more significant
share of control over the material, human, intellectual,
and financial resources.
7. Psychological Empowerment
Psychological empowerment aligns with
social empowerment—it transgresses the
“traditional and patriarchal taboos and
social obligations” and lets women go
beyond what’s expected of them in society.
This can build self-confidence, help women
recognize their self-worth, and gives them
the chance to take control of their income
and body.
8. Legal to Holistic
Holitic generally means relating to or
concerned with wholes or with
complete structures rather than dealing
with a part or component of a larger
system. It is a term often used in
connection with medicine and the
environment.
