Benefits Of Empowering Young Girls

By Deanne Shepard


Women form the biggest percentage of the world population. Their contribution in the growth and development of countries economy is immeasurable. They perform all the daily home chores and raise children in the best way they can so that they create tomorrow leaders who will change the world in future. However, despite their hardworking nature, many cultures do not appreciate women or hold them with high regard and this affects them socially and economically. It is therefore important for you to consider empowering young girls so that they can have a brighter future.

Many organizations and the government have come up with many programs to empower such women. However, this responsibility cannot be bestowed to specific individuals only. It is the duty of every person to empower a woman. After all, in a group of ten people, there is certainly a woman who requires someone to empower her. If every one played his or her role, such women can achieve their dreams in life.

A lot of people wonder how they can empower women economically. However, you need to know that, you do not have to offer financial support so as to make them feel empowered. By just a word of mouth, you can inspire them and help them to believe in themselves even when others cannot believe in them. You need to conduct seminars with younger ladies, where you can invite special speakers so as to enlighten them.

Media also has a role to play. This is because; the things media portray about women matters a lot to the community. Some media portray women in a bad way. For instance, they put disgusting pictures of celebrated women in the communities. Actually, some of them are portrayed very thin or excessively big. Others are embarrassed to find a naked body that bears their head, among other demeaning displays. This is bad, and people need to rise against such.

In certain cases, girls are put on the sideline in schools and community activities. You will find that certain activities example sports are set aside for boys. This is very heartbreaking, because some women usually have a potential in such sports. Sports are also good in improving the health of women. Some women can in future become great resources to the country if their talents were nurtured while they were still young.

It is also very important for all women to take up the responsibility of ensuring that, their younger ladies are well motivated and inspired to reach their full potential. One way to do this, is through constant reminder to them that, it is their time to change the world and not tomorrow. Furthermore, should also act as role models so that, these younger ladies can emulate them.

You also need to know that, change starts from the mind. As the bible puts it, a man is what he thinks he is. It is therefore very important for you to change how women perceive themselves. This is the beginning of their transformation. Some of them are satisfied at their level and they are not willing to put measures in place to change this. Such women need to be enlightened.

Lastly, you need to rise against women harassment. Young women are very vulnerable than men. They fall victim of sexual abuse, physical abuse and early marriages. You have to say no to such.
