 5.How can we build self-confidence in women?

Answers.

Empowered  women can contribute to the economic activity in the Nation. Moreover they can work as efficient leaders in every  decision making team.This will enhance the growth of the Nation.

m “Women should step outside their comfort zones.” I agree with this statement.Then only they will learn how to face the challenges of top jobs in their society. Those who lack the confidence ,do not dare. So building confidence in women is essential. This is the role of education and that’s why Christine Lagarde calls it as the foundation of development. Compulsury and free education must be given to every child in our Nation.

“Women some times lack confidence to match their competence.”It is a true statement.Women in our place are competent to take various roles in our society. In most families in India,all the unpleasant tasks are assigned to  the women.They do all the cooking,cleaning,washing and other chores.Still many  of them are not coming forward to take up top jobs .instead they keep themselves to their comfort zones.If they have more confidence the situation might change.

Empowerment can change  women and build confidence in them.
