What to Focus On
- The term 'empowerment' originated in Latin America in the 1970s and gained prominence after 1980
- Yogendra Singh connected empowerment to access to resources, occupation, education, and health
- Women's empowerment is a multi-dimensional and changeable concept
- Empowerment is a process, not a single event — it is continuous and evolving
- It involves collective and conscious efforts by women

- Social importance: liberates women from exploitation and strengthens family and society
- Educational importance: enables self-reliance and changes traditional attitudes
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Women's empowerment simply means giving women more rights and benefits — it is a welfare concept, not a process of change.
A higher sex ratio (more females per 1000 males) is always bad and indicates a problem, while a lower sex ratio is normal and acceptable.
Women's empowerment is an anti-men movement — it aims to give women more power than men and reduce men's status.
