Women In South Asia Employment Empowerment & Human Development

Women are often treated as inferior and are socialised to put themselves last, thus undermining their self esteem. Economic and political empowerment of women does not refer only to some improvements in their position within the parameters of hierarchical structures. Empowerment is not only an external process, but a process that has to bring about these intrinsic changes, in women but in men also. When women get organised and raise their consciousness about their disempowerment, and use their critical understanding to organised themselves and struggle for greater acess to resources there are very few problems from the men.
