Deep dives

Redefining Empowerment

Empowerment is often perceived as a passive pursuit, particularly for women who have historically been conditioned to seek external validation and power. Dr. Amanda Hansen argues that this notion stems from a patriarchal society where true power is defined as control over others rather than autonomy over one’s choices and body. She emphasizes that women should claim their own power instead of waiting for permission, which might manifest in various aspects of life such as wealth, personal decisions, and voice. Disengaging from the term ‘empowerment’ allows women to focus on cultivating a deeper internal sense of authority and confidence.
