7 reasons why women need to feel empowered

Every woman, whether working or a housewife is a multi-tasker. She takes care of everyone in the family, manages all household chores, works for financial independence, nurtures her children and saves money in every possible way. However, according to a study, women in India have a lower share of contribution to the GDP of 17% whereas the global average is 37%. There are very few women on the top. According to MSI (Monster Salary Index), women in India earn 19% less than men.
In this constant struggle against gender discrimination, women need to constantly motivate and stand up for themselves. Every woman should feel empowered.

Here are 7 reasons why you as a woman, should feel empowered. 

  1. You can stand up for yourself
    After spending years on keeping your opinions to yourself, keeping quiet and letting others talk for you, standing up for yourself is the hardest. Once you start doing it, people around you might hate you and say, “You have changed a lot, I miss the girl you were”. It is ok. It might be difficult, but once you start doing it, it will be worth everything. Be brave, have confidence and speak for what you deserve!
  2. End gender bias
    Even today men are considered superior to women. A woman is not allowed to go out at night, she cannot go out with her male friends, she cannot go far from home to study or pursue her career. This mental blockage needs to end, as it affects the mental health of women/girls. It is necessary for women to feel empowered so that they can stand up for their careers and pursue their dreams.
  3. Gender pay gap
    Most of the time it has been observed that very few women get the opportunity to reach a top-level. Payscale often varies, men are paid more than women despite being on the same designation. A lot of companies do not hire or promote women at the top because they feel women are not capable of taking quality decisions to run a company or they are incompetent to handle complicated situations. On the contrary, women are multi-taskers: they always find ways to tackle any situation and can also be good leaders.
  4. Sense of accomplishment
    Take pride in what you do. Be confident and work more towards the things that you love doing. If you come across another woman doing something good, compliment them. If someone compliments you about your good work, just say thank you and gracefully accept it. Make goals, keep yourself focused on them. Have short term and long term goals. Achieving them is in itself a very big accomplishment.
  5. Look up to yourself
    Do you think women are weak and they cannot take a step without their father’s or husband’s permission? A woman has often required permission, but men are liberal. This mindset is incorrect, a woman is as strong as a man. Both are equal. To end this dominance, women need to look up to themselves and other women around them. Support women who are growing in life, promote them and give them an opportunity to showcase their skills.
  6. Be equal with everyone
    We all know people who feel they are superior to us. Honestly, they do not deserve our time and energy. Walk away from people who cannot understand why do you want to be treated equally. Surround yourself with positive people, demand equal treatment for yourself and ensure you treat others equally.
  7. Stay positive, stay healthy
    A healthy mind is a key to a healthy life. It is essential to be positive and work towards mental health to keep anxieties and depression at bay. Exercise, meditate, give yourself time as your health is important too. Excessive stress causes hormonal imbalance which will raise several health issues. So, be stress-free and be healthy!

Being empowered is not just a feeling, it is about attaining equal rights in society. So that a woman is never to be worried about being judged or pulled down just for being a woman.
Accept who you are, respect yourself, love yourself. Because you are special and you need to believe in yourself to be empowered.
