2. Introduction
The past couple of decades have seen an increased
emphasis and advocacy for women empowerment.
Empowering women in our society, socially and
economically, has been deemed as one of the ways of
helping bring a substantial change in our society.
Despite the increased advocacy through various
governmental and non-governmental organizations,
the movement on women empowerment is yet to
achieve substantial results. You can contribute to
empowering women in your community by focusing
on the following key areas.

3. Creating Awareness
Most people in society today do not appreciate the importance and need to
focus on women’s empowerment. The substantial level of ignorance in our
society should be cause for worry, especially if we are to achieve any
significant milestones. Creating awareness happens to be one of the
best ways of empowering women in your community. You may start by
speaking to members within your community to increasingly allow girls and
women in general or to access education, health care services, and a host of
other social and economic opportunities.

4. Providing
Mentorship
Mentoring women and girls is an excellent
way of creating potential in them and
helping them to achieve their goals.
Providing such mentorship enables women
to overcome some of the common adverse
challenges that have continually put women
on the receiving end as far as equality and
fairness are concerned. Mentorship helps
girls to believe in themselves while also
increasing the chances of creating boldness
towards the self-realization of their potential.

5. Provision of
Opportunities
In addition to creating awareness and providing mentorship to the women
in our society, it is viable and valuable to empower women and girls in the
society by creating special opportunities for them. Most women normally
fail to actualize their dream due to the lack of such opportunities. This
problem can be solved by enacting appropriate legislation, which
encourages organizations and institutions, both in the public and private
sectors, to create special opportunities for women.

6. Such special opportunities increase the position that women
have in society. It also boosts their morale to ensure that they
can exhibit the best of their potential. At a local level in your
community, you can contribute in that regard by providing
local women with a special fund, opportunities to lead, and
avenues for conducting business.
