The problem is even worse when a woman does not work and is
totally dependent financially on her partner. In that case, she can be
easily exploited by the
man.
The first step in getting power is to identify your area of strength and interest and going out to get it. There are certain things in life that no one can take away from you like your education, talent, and skills, so why not aim to have these?

Every woman should aim in life to:
-
Gain as much knowledge as she can by reading books or material that is both beneficial and healthy.
-
Be computer literate because in this age you can’t afford not to learn this.
-
Enroll for an evening class or an
online
university.
-
Attending chat rooms, workshops or seminars on a specific area of interest, especially motivational programs.
-
Know or learn to
raise financial resources in one way or the other.
-
Learn something new. A craft or simply how to make something out of nothing – this requires an imaginative mind.
-
Practice a new skill in your free time, put you heart to it, and always have a dream of it becoming big.
-
Must be innovative and not just sit at home nagging, eating,
growing plump, and waiting for the man to bring home food - that is called being lazy and idle.
-
Find or create time to do something and don’t look for excuses.
-
Put certain things on hold in order to pursue/complete your dreams or career unless you are 100% sure it won’t have a negative effect on your plans in the long run.
Empowerment through knowledge is one of the gateways for a woman to be able to overcome her obstacles because knowledge is power. When you stop doing this or don’t do at all, the mind has a tendency to
‘age’ or ‘decay’ and you will end up being ignorant. Remember ignorance is not a defense, so don’t sit at home idle. Do something with your life. When you are empowered, even making decisions in your life becomes so much easier, as you are not
limited by
fear.
