Gender empowerment

Gender empowerment means giving equal rights and opportunities to boys and girls, men and women. It can mean things like helping girls and women get an education or job training, giving women the same job and pay opportunities as men, and helping women have a voice in decision-making.

Imagine you and your best friend both love playing games, but your friend's parents always let him choose which game to play and make all the rules. You might feel sad or frustrated because you never get to choose. Gender empowerment means making sure that you and your friend both get to choose the games you play, and that you both get to make the rules sometimes.

Gender empowerment aims to create a fair and equal world where everyone, regardless of their gender, has the chance to live a happy and fulfilling life. It's important because it helps reduce discrimination and inequality, and promotes respect for everyone’s differences.
