(Introduction/Meaning)

Women empowerment means to make the role of women stronger in the family and society. In the other words, women empowerment means marginalizing power in women and girls so that they can play a significant role in the society. Empowering the women refers to achieve internationally agreed goals for development and sustainability, and improve the quality of life for women.

(Situation/ Problems) Body -1

Due to the male dominated structure, the position of women is too weak in every society. They do not  have equal rights and opportunity in economically, politically and socially. Less than 100 years ago, women in first world nations could not vote, manage their own money, or have access to birth control information. Women are still consistently paid less, expected to be child-rearers, expected to cook, clean, etc., are the victims of rape and domestic abuse among many other inequalities.  In less forward societies, women can't drive, run for office, leave the house without a man, sign contracts and more. Clearly women are not treated as equals around the world. These are the some examples why women empowerment is needed.

(Solutions / Ways to improve the bad situation) Body -2

The women produce HALF of the world's food and own only 1% of its land. And of the 900 million adults worldwide who cannot read or write, about two thirds are women. Excluding about 51% of the population from genuine economic and political participation is a bad strategy to make the world a better place to live. So, to genuinely empower the women, we should implement the gender equity in the society. Providing them good and higher education, making them equally involve in the politics and policy making tasks, Let them work in the office or run their own business and let them have their own money and property, providing them equal opportunity in all sector, are some effective strategies to enhance the women empowerment.

(Benefits) Body -3

Empowering women means enjoying the same rights and opportunity by  all people in the world, that means making the earth an improved habitat. When a man gets educated, only the man learns. When a women gets educated the entire generation learns. Involvement of another half of the population in the development of the world is an very essential to remove the poverty from the planet.

(Conclusion)

Empowering  women doesn't mean dominating men, but work and live in harmony. Not only men but women themselves should be aware of to eliminate the discrimination and oppression to women. Money is power, and education helps to earn money, so if girls are educated, they will have power, hence can be empowered.
