Reason for Empowering Women
Women are more likely to use their education oppurtunties better then men
Literacy and access to basic education are prerequisites for taking advantage of opportunities for higher agricultural education. Any efforts to improve women's access to higher agricultural education must, therefore, be linked to overall efforts to improve girls and women's literacy and access to basic education. Almost everywhere, girls' and women's literacy rates and access to basic education are considerably lower than those of boys and men.
Women now earn the majority of diplomas in some fields men used to dominate — from biology to business — and have caught up in pursuit of law, medicine and other advanced degrees.
Even with such enormous gains over the past 25 years, women are paid less than men in comparable jobs and lag in landing top positions on college campuses.
Women now account for about half the enrollment in professional programs such as law, medicine and optometry. That is up from 22 percent a generation ago.
For example, Sonia Sotomayore is a women that worked hard to get in the economic world. First she was excepted into Princeton, but when she graduted there she decided to go to collage again, at yale. She pushed herself very hard so she would be in the position she is in now.
