Abstract (Original Language): 
The concept of empowerment is not a new one. References to the term date back to the 1960s, particularly in the Afro-American movement and in Paolo Freire's theory based on the development of a critical conscience. But the concept of empowerment was adopted after the Beijing Conference (1995). The Beijing Declaration presents women's empowerment as a key strategy for development: “Women's empowerment and their full participation on the basis of equality in all spheres of society, including participation in the decision-making process and access to power, are fundamental for the achievement of equality, development and peace”.
