Empowerment and Advocacy

Empowerment and advocacy involve supporting individuals to gain control over their own lives and make informed decisions. In the context of the Ethics of Care, which emphasizes relationships and the importance of empathy, empowerment means helping people realize their strengths and potential. Advocacy is about standing up for the rights and needs of others, especially marginalized or vulnerable groups, ensuring their voices are heard. Together, they promote dignity, respect, and social justice, creating a more equitable society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and participate meaningfully.
