ABSTRACT
â¢Current empowerment efforts fail to capture a critical component of empowerment - its relational nature.â¢Individual's empowerment is constituted through the empowerment of others in significant relationship to them.â¢The ability of women to empower themselves is mediated through the deliberative support of others.â¢Community judgment of individual alignment with gender norms determines empowerment outcomes in daily realities.â¢Public adherence to local gender norms creates a safe façade to deviate from the norms.
