That's one of the most popular words lately. Have you read about it on a blog or website? What does the word really mean empowerment?
Empowerment is the social and collective force in favor of. civil and social rights of a particular group.
Empowerment involves the individuality of each citizen e. the collective consciousness that a particular person or group must decide. control your own destiny and wills, never passing over others, with respect.
Democracy is closely linked to empowerment, so much. that in this context, empowerment preaches the collective opinion of the population. must be respected, this opinion must have domain and decision-making power.
This type of collective empowerment, adapted to the population. it is called social empowerment. Collective empowerment gives power to. autonomy and transformation of political, cultural, social and economic groups.
In English, the term empowerment can be translated as “empowerment” and has another connotation. In the case of the English term, empowerment can mean "delegating authority" and is used in companies, when employees gain decision-making powers, participation and autonomy in the administration of sectors.

Gender equality is one of the most discussed topics in. social sectors in Brazil and the world. Female empowerment is about. to equate women with men in different social sectors, in a responsible manner. and democratic.
Female empowerment goes head-to-head with relationships. patriarchal, where the man retains the dominant power over the woman and maintains it. privileges superior to hers.
Female empowerment is the struggle over this domain, where a. woman gains rights that were previously subverted, such as control of her own. sexuality, freedom of expression among other things.
Empowerment is related to change, as it exalts the. each individual's power to make a difference while respecting their own. essence. The mutual exchange that exists between people trying to help each other achieve. empowerment is a kind of evolution, where both win.
Collective empowerment works as a chain of good, where one person exerts power to influence the other, respecting theirs. limits and personality, accepting their choices and interests.
The individual who has been empowered has the strength to. empower others around, thus forming a domino effect, where society itself. respects and lives in a dignified and upright manner without losing freedom of expression.
Did you know that this topic is so important lately. that has even been part of academic programming in certain areas?
These areas have empowerment in their agendas as a theme. recurrent. But we also see the term being used a lot in areas such as politics, agencies, companies and diverse organizations.
The term is advocated by economists who emphasize a. importance of empowerment not just for a specific flag, but for. society as a whole. Socialists also advocate the use of empowerment. as the basis for a fairer society.
This makes sense, since the fact that a person has more. Personal freedom to make decisions based on mutual respect can improve. life itself. Personal improvement can result in successful families e. consequently well-established societies.
The term began to be used in the late 70s. In. a sexist society, where what the man spoke was law, groups of women. began to clamor for more autonomy, for having the right to defend themselves e. Boost your self-confidence.
In this process, women strengthen their identity, exercise control over their social and personal relationships, and defend theirs. rights as persons and members of society.
What does poverty have to do with female empowerment? Everything. be. Poverty in Brazil has increased a lot in recent decades and exclusion. is a predominant feature in Latin America.
But the curious fact that among these statistics, the big one. The majority of poor people are female, it only increases the certainty that the. women are on an unequal level to men. Unfortunately they don't have access to. the same study opportunities and social and economic equality.
19 years ago, the IV World Conference of. Women held in Beijing and the main objective of the agenda was the renewal of. commitment to female empowerment.
Objective No. 03 of the agenda is:
“promote equality. between genders and empowering women"
At that meeting, ways to help leveling were discussed. this big difference between men and women in the economic sense and the Forum. World economic pledged not only to improve the condition of the world, but to give. empowerment to women.
5 strands of female empowerment were defined e. equal opportunity for women. Check out:
This topic seems a bit tiring to debate, given the. great repercussion of society and feminist polemics. However, the theme is. very important due to some factors that lead women to be. considered inferior.
In the 21st century, women are still fighting:
In relation to sexuality itself, there are still women in. various parts of the world that struggle against machismo, patriarchy and the. conservatism. This can affect your sexual, mental and reproductive health as a result. women become more vulnerable to sexually transmitted diseases, sexual and psychological violence.
In many cases, the woman has to face rape or. violations of their rights within their own home. Parents, uncles, cousins, friends. of parents or close ones may sexually abuse girls while they. they are encouraged not to tell anyone about it because it is. "too shameful for a woman."
Exercising empowerment requires strength, ability and. determination. United women can fight this tendency to feel. belittled, ashamed or subjected to a kind of torture just for. to have been born a woman. This fight is part of female empowerment.
