7 Ingenious Ways to Empower Women

Empower Women
You are aware of how and why Women’s Day came to be but you probably don’t know how much or how little you are doing to achieve its cause. International Women’s day is celebrated on 8th March to commemorate the economic, political, social and cultural achievements of women. This day also holds significance in generating awareness of gender parity. While some women spend this day with self-pampering activities, meeting their girlfriends, few make a conscious effort to contribute to this day. This year the theme ‘Choose to Challenge’ seems like an awakening call to men and women to take a step towards uplifting women. Take a look at these 7 ingenious ways to empower women not only on this day but for the rest of the year. Even the smallest effort can make a huge difference in another women’s life.

Be True to Yourself

Be-true-to-yourself Before you begin on your journey to help other women it is crucial that you first recognise your worth. As a Women’s Day gift, avoid being too harsh on yourself, learn to love yourself wholly, stay focused on your goal and identify your good qualities & stick to them. In short, start being true to yourself and your newfound confidence will be an inspiration to others.

Make Generous Donations

Organisations like AIDHA, Crib Society, SCWO and Wings are tremendously focused on assisting women in their endeavours and providing them with security. Do your research before you decide whom to make your generous donation to. Remember that a little help can go a long way.

Provide Education

Educate your mother, sister, daughter and even house help with the basic women’s rights, their capabilities and that their voice matters. Make them understand how precious and important they are to society.

Support Small Businesses

Support-small-business One of the best ways to extend your support to women is by helping them and their businesses grow. Either purchase products as Women’s Day gifts from female-run organisations or broadcast them on social media platforms. From clothing brands like Collate the Label, home water machine companies like SodaStream, artificial intelligence firms like ADDO AI to finance educating companies like Miss Kaya, women are present in every possible field.

Begin at an Early Stage

Begin-early One's focal point should not just be adult women. Women empowerment can begin at an early stage with young daughters. Introduce self-affirmations to your daughter to make her believe in herself and that she is no less than a superwoman. Confident, courageous and bold girls are what the future world needs.

Encourage all Activities

Encourage-activities Let’s get rid of the stigma that women are supposed to be dainty and gentle. There are all types of women who are involved in various fields like sports, beauty, finance, gym and law. Encourage the ladies around you to do what their heart desires irrespective of others' opinions. A woman should not be subjected to other people’s perceptions and the biggest step you can take is to make them believe it.

Start an NGO

Start-NGO Those who wish to take things directly into their own hands should start an NGO that targets a women empowerment section. Whether you look into female education and sanitation or employment, your work will no doubt help womanhood achieve new heights. Also, there are never too many NGOs. The more the better, as we will only benefit with more good deeds. It is never too late to help another woman achieve greatness on a personal or professional front. As a Women’s Day gift, empower yourself and others to advance in life. For strong and fearless women to change the world equally brave women must support them.
