Reasons for Empowering Women
Women are more likely to use money or empowerment programs effectively to provide for their family, so we should empower women with financial control of their households.
''The nutrition and educational performance improves. And you know, we've now done studies in a place like Brazil, where the chance of childhood survival, if you give the money to the women head-of-household, increases by some 20 percent.''
Gender equality and women's empowerment are human rights that lie at the heart of development and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. Despite the progress that has been made, six out of ten of world's poorest people are still women and girls, less than 16 percent of the world's parliamentarians are women, two thirds of all children shut outside the school gates are girls and, both in times of armed conflict and behind closed doors at home, women are still systematically subjected to violence.
women are more nurturing then men, so therefore they are going to look after their friends and family. so if they were to be CEO. of top businesses there going to see do what's good for the company and look after the company and make sure everything is good with company before they make their final judgment.
