00:00Empowerment of the woman would involve taking care of the religious influences.
00:04If you have a girl and she has been told since childhood that the very success of the woman's
00:10life lies in taking care of the household and the husband and the babies and she does
00:17not need to accord priority to anything else.

00:52things are drilled into the girl's mind.
