(A word proposed in 2005 by Graines de Paix to translate empowerment, and gradually appearing on other websites).<\/i><\/p>\n

See also the word empowerment<\/i><\/a> in this Dictionary.
(An English word regularly used by international organizations, associations and psychologists, including in French<\/i>, as there is no official translation close enough to the word empowerment in French dictionaries. Some bilingual dictionaries indicate autorisation, <\/i>habilitisation<\/i> or autonomisation<\/i>, which do not describe the important aspect of intimate awareness of one’s power to act).<\/i> <\/p>\n

Empowerment is:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    the awakening, fulfillment and reinforcement of a person’s (or group’s) potential<\/b>, with the aim of formulating and achieving personal and societal goals;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    personal emancipation of oneself or one’s group, by developing confidence in one’s own abilities<\/b>, to acquire greater individual, social, political or economic power to act<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    awareness and realization of one’s potential power of action<\/b>, which enhances one’s identity and gives one greater control over actions and decisions that affect one’s life.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    the process by which we free our power to act<\/b> from our own obstacles, realizing that this power to act<\/b> is not given from the outside, but awakened from within.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We can empower <\/i>the people around us (children, spouses, colleagues, etc.) by recognizing their abilities and encouraging them to take on more responsibility.<\/p>\n
