Women empowerment refers to women gaining power and control over their own lives and being able to achieve their goals. However, women face many barriers to empowerment such as cultural norms, gender discrimination, lack of education, financial constraints, and an inability to take risks. These barriers can be overcome by focusing on education, health, self-reliance, justice, sensitivity, and equality for women.
