Project Title: Developing Share Learning Strategy for Women Empowerment: A multidimensional study
Research background
Women empowerment is a buzz-word that has been flying around in the recent years. One of the most important domains to achieve women empowerment is by facilitating women for leadership.
However, it is impossible to empower women, without them first realizing that that the power to empower themselves lies in them. The only pathway to therefore achieve this empowerment is to facilitate self discovery through education and share learning process.
This in addition to facilitating an enabling environment for women to thrive will speed up the process of developing leaders among Indian women.
The research project is to work out a share learning strategies for facilitating women empowerment in India and global.

18. Conclusion
We cannot empower Women, but we can facilitate Women for
Empowerment
Women have to Lead themselves to Empowering themselves –Self-Lead
This can be done through ShareLearning from women that have worked through and
made impact
Girls students have to actively get involve in leading to liberation by voting for young
Women & support young women to come out
Our getting involve is not ONLY by mass protest when there re issues but doing the
right thing which is to vote and support young women to take leadership position in
politics
Until then, Women can experience some level of peace!
