5 WAYS OF EMPOWERING WOMEN:

1) Inspiring them to showcase what they’ve got.

Women have lots of talents, capabilities and power. They only need motivation to start.
2) Believe that they can also do what men can do. Stop misogyny.
Women sometimes are overshadowed by men. May it be on politics, showbiz, business
and many more. We can equalize what they do.
3) Building a support system for them.
Women empower fellow women by using their voices and their platforms especially
nowadays where broadcasting on media is very accessible.
4) Help them boost their confidence.
Everything is possible. They just need to start believing in themselves.
5) Accepting their roles.
Women have unique roles in our community that no other gender can level. We just
need to accept that they are unique and show more appreciation to them.
