Fostering women’s self-esteem and their fundamental entitlement to make and shape their choices. In the Salesian spirit of education, empowerment is not about dominance but about awakening the dignity and unique gifts present in every woman. Just as Don Bosco believed in nurturing hidden talents among the young, empowering women means creating spaces where their voices can rise with confidence, and their choices are respected as a reflection of God’s plan for their lives.
When a woman discovers her worth, she becomes a beacon of strength for her family, her community, and society at large. Encouraging education, leadership, and opportunities for women is like planting seeds of hope in fertile soil—they grow into a forest of resilience, creativity, and compassion. Salesian educators remind us that true empowerment comes from accompaniment, walking side by side, helping women see in themselves what perhaps the world has overlooked.
Empowering women is more than a social duty—it is a moral call to justice and solidarity. It is about lifting barriers, breaking the silence of exclusion, and celebrating the unique contributions women bring to the human family. In doing so, we build communities where dignity is shared, where the young learn from examples of courage, and where society flourishes because every woman has the freedom to choose, to dream, and to shape a future filled with hope.
