By Deanne Shepard


Have you ever known that women and girls constitute the majority of the worlds population? Women however are not highly involved in the development of the economy. In third world especially, some men usually view women as individual whose sole purpose is to cook, clean the house and give birth. This is very sad because it hides the abilities of most women. Women at times lack a chance to prove their potential. The solution to these challenges is by empowering young girls.

Of late, many governments and other nongovernmental organizations are stepping in to sensitize about women empowerment. It is good to understand that, the duty to empower women does not lie in the hands of these organizations alone. It is the duty of every citizen to make women rise beyond their own limitations and also above negative cultural influence. It is only through this that we can make utilize their potential.

Some people think that they have to have a lot of money to empower such women. However, this is not always the case. There are different simple things that you can do to make such women feel empowered. One way of empowering these women is by engaging them in intelligent conversation. For instance, you do not have to comment about womens look. Instead, talk about her school progress, her future dreams, and the strategies she has put in place to achieve such dreams.

The media has a role to play. How the media depicts women matters to the community. Sometimes women are portrayed in a bad way by the media. For example, sometimes they put revoking photos of women who are celebrated in the community. In fact, women are portrayed in a thin way and at times excessively big. Sometimes, women are embarrassed to find naked bodies that bear their heads; other demeaning displays are also used. This act is very awful and it should be stopped.

Another reason that has actually affected our ladies, is being sidelined in many social activities such sports and leadership. It is very important to understand that, women have great talents. These talents needs to be natured and tapped because they can make them to rise beyond their own limitations and attain financial freedom.

Women have a greater role to play in ensuring that women are empowered. This is because; most women learn from elder women. If the elder women are a role model to the community, the women will definitely emulate. You can become a role model by doing things right, being an encourager to other women, and sharing your success stories with such women.

The bible advices people that they can be transformed though the renewal of their minds. It is true that every story whether a success story has to begin from the mind. If you think positively about yourself, you definitely will achieve success. It therefore is your duty of making such women think about themselves positively.

Lastly, all young ladies need to be protected from all sorts of abuse and harassment. Every single day, you hear of news where a girl was raped or killed. It is the responsibility of every person to ensure that our ladies are safe and secure. Early marriages and physical abuse should also be discouraged.
