ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Women's empowerment

Women's empowerment is a way of making girls and women feel more confident and powerful in their lives. It helps girls and women do things like:

- Speaking up and saying what they want or need from others
- Making decisions about their own lives like what jobs they want to have or who they want to marry
- Having equal rights and opportunities as men, like being able to go to school or participate in sports
- Feeling like they can accomplish things they might not have thought possible before

Empowerment can mean different things in different cultures, but the goal is always to help girls and women feel more in control of their own lives and futures. It's important because when girls and women are empowered, they can be happier, healthier, and more successful.
