Women empowerment is important to the existence of humanity. From women life comes. In women life appears. Women are given the divine responsibility to carry life. It is important to empower women. Even the word empower in acronym form almost spells women: rep wome(n). Humanity needs to represent women and women need representation in various ways, in various industries and in various forms. There are many underrepresented positions of power that women have yet to fill, including the
highest office of the land: The President of The United States of America. Various positions such as CEO, CIO, CTO and CFO need more women representation. Various
STEM industries need more women representation. Women empowerment has come far, but let’s not get off course. Let’s not turn women empowerment into a degree of male disempowerment. It is not as if women can only be in power in the absence of male power. Women and men need each other and we need to work together to continue
empowering women to break barriers in achievement, status, financially and in our choices.
Yes, choices. If a women chooses not to marry or not to have children it does not mean she is abandoning her natural role as a women; she can nurture her nieces, nephews or orphaned children. The role of women is a diverse one and should not be confined and defined only by what comes out of her womb. I would like to get back to this point about false women empowerment disguised in male-shaming, slut-shaming, risky sexual behaviour and an overtly false sense of independence claiming to be empowered
by not needing anyone. Everyone, needs someone, whether that is a friend, business partner or even oneself. You need others sometimes to encourage and empower you with their words.
Most importantly, you need yourself and that’s where empowerment starts. Loving yourself is the seed and roots of empowerment –it is where empowerment comes from. If you love yourself, then you can love and empower someone else. Another women may need the same love you show to yourself in her time of need. You need you, we need you and I need you. If you do not have someone to empower you, then remember you can always look in the mirror and empower yourself.
