- Description
- The aim of this thesis is to establish what the role of women but mainly that of men as gendered beings is in the process of women’s empowerment. In this, the author argues that in the process of women’s empowerment, men, as the more powerful, do not have to be ‘the problem’. Instead, she believes that, by understanding the role of men in the process of women’s empowerment, without neglecting the role of women themselves, men can become part of the solution when eliminating gender inequality.
