What does empowerment mean to you?
To me, empowerment means positively realizing and using personal power.
To the dictionary, empowerment means this:
em·pow·er·ment
əmˈpouərmənt/
noun
authority or power given to someone to do something.
“individuals are given empowerment to create their own dwellings”
the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life and claiming one’s rights.
“political steps for the empowerment of women”
Empowerment can be a powerful matter of survival, especially when balances of power are powerfully misaligned.
