Empowerment refers to the process of gaining the knowledge, skills, confidence, and agency to make decisions and take control of one’s life and circumstances. It involves increasing an individual’s or group’s capacity to act independently and make choices that affect their lives positively. Empowerment can occur on various levels, including personal, social, economic, and political. It often focuses on marginalised or disadvantaged groups, aiming to enhance their ability to influence decisions that affect them, thereby fostering equality and justice. The concept emphasizes self-determination and the importance of advocating for one’s rights and needs, promoting a sense of ownership and responsibility in pursuing goals and aspirations.
