empowerment

"After ministering to women all over the world, I think I can safely say that countless women struggle with feelings of worthlessness and a lack of confidence. This was certainly true in my life. After enduring many years of abuse as a child, my confidence level was severely affected. But over time, the Lord taught me many principles that have helped me overcome my past and become the confident woman I am today." (Joyce meyer)

Many resources are needed to be implemented for a more positive societal change. Not only do individuals need to shift their mindset despite their living and other economic limitation but more resources need to be available to them such as the completion and/or continuation of schooling and tertiary education, and especially safe, adequate and suitable living conditions. Women need a college-going spirit and culture. They need to be educated and taught that their education may lead to their independence, stability and empowerment. Women also need intensive social support systems which are more often than not disregarded and unestablished. Women need to realise their potential and realise that they are blessed by just being on this earth. We should dream big and aim for the best because we deserve the best!
