Journal of Emerging Trends in Educational Research and Policy Studies (JETERAPS) (Vol 1 No 1)
| Abstract: This paper looked at Christian religion as tool for women empowerment in Nigeria. The study found that Christian religion serves as a tool for empowering women in the society. Empowerment was seen as the process of enabling or authorizing the individual to think, take action and control work in an autonomous way. It was seen as the process by which one can gain control over one’s destiny and the circumstances of ones lives. Empowerment includes control over resources (physical, human, intellectual and financial) and over ideology (beliefs, values and attitudes). The church was discovered to have helped in so many ways by giving money to women for businesses through micro credit scheme and others. It was recommended that the churches should strengthen their tie of relationship with the society especially in area of family upbringing and economic empowerment of women. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: |
