00:00 If you have a girl and she has been told since childhood that the very success of the woman's life
00:06 lies in taking care of the household and the husband and the babies and she does not need to
00:13 accord priority to anything else. She does not need to read much, she does not need to explore much.
00:19 Her own ambition and potential is of secondary importance. That knowledge is secondary to,
00:27 let's say, daintiness. That servility is more valuable than curiosity or inquisitiveness.
00:34 If these are the values that have come to her from religion or family, then that's a huge problem.
00:40 So empowerment would involve challenging the so-called religious institution. It's actually
00:45 not true religion that teaches such things, but in the name of religion such things are drilled
00:52 into the girl's mind. So empowerment would mean that you do not let the folk kind of religion
00:57 do such things to the girl.
