What does an empowered woman look like?
Empowered women have the ability to make life-determining choices by the educational and economic rights and gender equality afforded to her; through equal opportunities she is able to reach her potential and live her purpose.
I believe there are six key characteristics of women who are empowered
These 6 characteristics represent the values of Empowered Women Global; they are the values we should all aspire to if we wish to be considered empowered women, and they are the behaviours we must demonstrate in our efforts to empower other women.
They authentically live their purpose
They are courageous and push boundaries
They are generous
They creative positive impact

How can we empower women?
At the societal level, through:
• Education, one of the most important means of empowering women with knowledge, skills and self-confidence;
• Equal participation at all levels of the political process to enable women to articulate their concerns and needs;
• Eliminating discrimination and violence against women;
• Enabling women to achieve economic self-reliance;
• Enabling women to combine the roles of child-bearing, breast-feeding and child-rearing with participation in the workforce. (unfpa.org)
World vision articulates 7 actions to empower women and girls
I believe there is also a very important additional eighth action – building the emotional resilience of women and girls.
These 8 actions provide the foundation on which Empowered Women Global is built.
Through these actions, Empowered Women Global works in and through the community via network events, purposeful giving, support programs (for example the Women First program) and mentoring. Each network event focuses on one of the 8 actions, as a theme on which to build awareness and provide support to the local community.
1. Provide the ticket to education: clean water
2. Support women and girls in crisis
3. Mentor a girl close to home
4. Invest in a small business owner
5. Use your voice to end preventable deaths of mothers and children
6. Help a new mother
7. Tell the women in your life you care
8. Build the emotional resilience of women and girls.
