Inspire her to attend a seminar or an online event where she can listen to successful women and their journey. This will boost her morale and instill confidence to take up challenges.
Women’s empowerment seems senseless until and unless they themselves do not rise for themselves. Encourage her to fight her battles, stand up against the stereotypes. She is not the "Abla Naari "
( the way she has been conditioned by the society since ages) but she is " The Naari" who has the ability to work shoulder to shoulder with her male counterparts.
Support businesses that are owned, operated, and controlled by women. Make a deliberate effort to support local business run by women. Try buying your bakery items, home décor products, stationary and even your gifts for small and big occasions and you will be surprised at the number of women you are helping involuntarily.
Encourage her to prioritize herself sometimes. Indulge in self care , take a short vacation , read a book, rekindle her passions and hobbies, enroll in some course she always wanted to.
