Women empowerment refers to the promotion of gender equality and the rights and opportunities for women to control their own lives and participate fully in all spheres of society. It is a critical step towards breaking down gender-based discrimination and violence and achieving gender equality.
There are various aspects of women’s empowerment, including political, economic, and social empowerment.
Political empowerment involves increasing women’s representation and participation in decision-making processes and leadership roles. This can be achieved through measures such as implementing quotas for women in politics and promoting gender-sensitive policies and laws.
Economic empowerment involves improving women’s access to education, training, and employment opportunities, as well as providing them with the resources and skills they need to participate fully in the economy. This can be done through initiatives such as providing micro-financing and business training for women entrepreneurs and promoting equal pay for equal work.
Social empowerment involves challenging and changing cultural and social norms that perpetuate gender inequality and discrimination. This can be done through education and awareness-raising programs, as well as through the media and popular culture, which can help to shift attitudes and beliefs.
In order to achieve women’s empowerment, it is important to address the root causes of gender-based discrimination, such as patriarchal attitudes and gender stereotypes. This requires a multi-faceted approach that involves governments, civil society organizations, businesses, and individuals working together to create a more equitable and inclusive society.
In conclusion, women’s empowerment is essential for promoting gender equality and achieving social, economic, and political progress. It requires a sustained and concerted effort by all sectors of society, including governments, civil society organizations, businesses, and individuals, to create a more inclusive and equitable world for women and girls.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
