THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT

Abstract [English]

One of the mechanisms that may be utilized to facilitate social transformation is empowerment. This is accomplished by cultivating an atmosphere that fosters critical thinking and informed decision-making. A person's natural ability can be enhanced through the accumulation of information, the development of resilience, and the acquisition of experience. A problem that is of utmost importance in our day is the empowerment of women. There should be no disparity between the opportunities available to men and those available to women in any aspect of life, including work, healthcare, and education. The education of women is a crucial factor that contributes to the continued development of society. “Educating a woman educates an entire family,” said Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, underlining the gap between the concept of teaching a man, who is seen to be independent, and the idea of educating a daughter. In their respective works, some researchers argue that the empowerment of women bestows authority onto Mother India. Education is a crucial component of women's empowerment, as it equips them with the resources necessary to overcome obstacles, challenge established norms, and effect positive changes in their lives. Furthermore, it promotes equality while simultaneously elevating their standing within the family, community, political system, and economic system. The purpose of this research is to highlight various aspects of women's empowerment through education.
