Empowerment refers to the process of enabling individuals to take control of their lives, make their own decisions, and advocate for their own needs and interests. This involves providing individuals with the resources, skills, and opportunities they need to achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. Empowerment can take many forms, including economic empowerment, social empowerment, and political empowerment. Research in this area seeks to understand the factors that contribute to empowerment, as well as the impact of empowerment on individuals and communities. This research often focuses on marginalized or disadvantaged populations, such as women, people with disabilities, and ethnic minorities, who may face barriers to empowerment. By studying empowerment, researchers aim to develop strategies and interventions that can promote greater autonomy, agency, and self-determination among individuals and groups.
