Stovers,

A friend sent me a nice definition of "empowerment"

    To capture progress towards gender equality, greater investments are
    needed. We need to develop new measures and invest in higher quality
    data that more accurately reflects constraints on and expressions of
    agency…agency is the ability to make decisions about one’s own life,
    and act on them to achieve a desired outcome, free of violence,
    retribution or fear. The ability to make those choices is often
    called empowerment…
