Women's empowerment is an
important concept in the sense that it goes beyond the emotional and social
factors. It also is about the economic factor and its effects on a person's
quality of life.
What is Women's Empowerment
It is more than just a good cause, to be a part of a women's empowerment
program or a women's groups. More often, it is one of the most important
factors that can affect a person's happiness and the well-being of their entire
family and society.
A woman's place in the social network is important in the empowerment of
the women she is involved with. The female is the centre of attraction and
identification, the centre of attraction and identification. And, in today's
society, it is not uncommon for a woman to be constantly seeking to be someone
else's centre.
The women's role should include being the provider while helping her
husband to meet his own needs. In short, women should be the real
"breadwinners."
However, there are many women who feel that they must be the ones to do all
of the work. They might feel that they cannot fulfil their husband's needs
without putting themselves under undue stress. To make matters worse, this type
of thinking can cause a couple to argue about the role of women in the home.
What do We Need to Understand?
Women who are equal partners in their families should also be paid equally
for their labour. But, at the same time, they should not feel guilty about
being a homemaker or mothers if they wish to stay in their homes.
In fact, a woman's place in the world depends upon the realization of
women's empowerment. A person can do great things in her life through the inner
resources and the courage to face her life head-on.
Women's empowerment can be a serious problem when it comes to domestic
violence. The fact that women are the true breadwinners and the primary
caregivers can be a reality for the battered women.
When the family domestic violence gets out of control, a person's inner
resources of empowerment may be reduced and many times the victim ends up
blaming herself for her abuse. It is very common for a battered woman to be
critical and to blame herself for her own abuse.
Men need to realize that abuse is sometimes a woman's fault. When it is a
male that has been abused, it is possible to empower that man to fight back and
win. However, it is much more difficult to empower a woman because it is hard
for women to express anger towards their attackers.
Conclusion
Women who suffer from domestic violence will not have a very easy time in
changing the roles within their relationships. Men need to understand that a
battered woman's problem is not necessarily a man's problem.
Another important element of this concept is for both parties to
communicate. A partner that is not willing to listen and take the issue
seriously will not change. A good start is to find someone to listen to and
discuss the issues with.
