Even in the different/ conflicting different approach, they talking about empowerment. May be empowerment is such of watchword, it seems to fit many shoes. Even for women empowerment in the still largely male dominated world. What is the actually mean of empowerment? It is a buzzy and fuzzy word.

Third, empowerment take a place in institutional, material and discursive context and at least, empowerment is both of process and outcome.
