women empowerment
Lifting up females
Women empowerment is the process of increasing women's social, economic, and political power and autonomy.
The phrase appears frequently in development work, corporate initiatives, and feminist discourse: The organization focuses on women empowerment through microloans.
Often criticized as vague corporate-speak when used without concrete action.
The grammatically standard form is "women's empowerment," but the attributive noun version dominates in organizational contexts.
