Workshop by Urvashi Agarwal on Women Empowerment at AAFT

Noida: “Women’s empowerment may be defined in several ways, including accepting women’s viewpoints, trying to seek them and raising the status of women through education, awareness, literacy, and training. Women’s empowerment equips and allows women to make life-determining decisions through the different societal problems,” explained Urvashi Agarwal renowned writer and poetess while talking to the students of media at Asian Academy of Film and Television at Noida Film City.

Women’s empowerment has become a significant topic of discussion in development  and economics. Economic empowerment  allows women to control and benefit from resources, assets, and income. It also aids the ability to manage risk  and improve women’s well-being.
