empowermentthe
Empowermentthe is not a widely recognized term in academic literature. In online and casual usage it sometimes appears as a misspelling of empowerment theory or as a coined label for a particular approach to fostering agency. When used, the term generally signals a framework or practice aimed at increasing individuals’ and groups’ capacity to act with autonomy and influence over decisions that affect their lives.
In practice, empowerment concepts emphasize three interrelated dimensions: psychological empowerment (confidence and perceived control), social empowerment
Because empowerment is multi-dimensional, measurement relies on both subjective indicators (sense of control) and objective indicators
Related concepts include empowerment theory, participatory development, capacity building, and social justice. See also: human rights,
