Empowering women ... Opportunities and Challenges
Abstract
The subject of empowering women in the twenty-first century has become a hot issue around the world. Modern women are searching for equal opportunities with men and the two are competing strongly in various fields such as politics, economics and other social sectors. The results of many studies have shown that women around the world today stand on an equal footing with men; it is undeniable that some women are much better than men when it comes to some issues. Possible women contribute to the development of their country's economic, social and political status, and women make up about 50 % of the world’s population, and they represent the backbone of the development of their countries. On the other hand, according to the American Center for Leadership Women, the overall integration of women in the economic life of the state is essential for the welfare of society, however, this matter remains somewhat unattractive to it.
In light of what was proposed in the current research, it was concluded that there are two dimensions of the first internal empowerment which is psychological empowerment and it is a precedent to the other dimension and the second is external that includes multiple types of empowerment are economic, social, political, legal, educational, environmental and health, and that both dimensions require external intervention to help women with the necessity Having the full desire for it, and based on all of this, a focus was placed on psychological empowerment among women in particular. The 1995 Spritzer theory was presented with some elaboration, which focused on that psychological empowerment should be seen as a building or an intellectual and conceptual structure; I reviewed the most important opportunities for women's empowerment and the most important challenges that confront this; it must be noted here that we have confined ourselves to identifying the various challenges facing women's empowerment (exclusively at the level of women) and not at the level of relevant governmental and non-governmental organizations and bodies as the latter are related to the institutional and structural apparatus of this Organizations This is not of interest to the current research, and in light of all this the research concluded a set of conclusions, recommendations and proposals.
