Women's empowerment has recently become a hot topic all over the world. Accepting or attempting to seek out women's perspectives, as well as elevating women's status through education, awareness, literacy, and training, are all examples of women's empowerment. The true meaning of women empowerment is allowing or encouraging women to make their own decisions and making those decisions a reality through any means they choose. The ultimate goal of empowering women is to give them the confidence to break free from the shackles of restrictive thinking patterns and societal or religious conditioning.
