| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The concept of women's empowerment is historically associated with national liberation movements throughout the world. the contributions of the American civil rights movement, and contributions of feminist movements in developing countries in Latin America and Asia. This concept focused on collective empowerment challenging the stereotypes about gender relations and was used, clearly and explicitly. in the l970s in order to launch the struggle for social justice and equality between women and men._ and facilitated through the establishment of economic, social and political structures. During the 1990s this concept lost its original transformational, and to a degree radical. concept, when it was linked to the ongoing transformations in the global economy and changes in the nature of the state and civil society. and to improvements at the level of development theories. Development discourse has focused on expanding women's options and levels of production as individuals, in most cases apart from the work programs of' women's -movements in the context of the state's withdrawal and abandoning of' its responsibilities in the spheres of economic and social support.' |
