00:00 No empowerment makes any sense.
00:03 Even if you change all the institutions, the religious one, the educational one, the legal
00:08 one, we have talked of the role of media and so many other things.
00:11 Even if you take care of all those institutions, the woman would still not be free.
00:18 Even if you bestow all kinds of powers on her, she would still either refuse to wield
00:26 those powers or would misuse those powers because internal bondage is way more severe
00:34 than any kind of external bondage.
00:36 If you give her external freedom without caring for her internal freedom, external freedom
00:42 will make very little difference.
00:44 In fact, external freedom will become dangerous because she is free.
00:47 She will claim she is empowered whereas she is as much in bondage as she always has been.
00:53 And that's the case of a lot of so-called empowered women today.
