Empowerment refers to a process of providing individuals or groups with the necessary tools, resources, and skills to take control of their lives and make decisions that impact their well-being positively. The goal of empowerment is to enable people to have a sense of autonomy, self-efficacy, and agency in their lives. Empowerment can take various forms, such as social, economic, or political empowerment.
