Empowerment Means Having an Alternative Vision of Society
This is why having a vision of the society we want, having a Pacific feminist perspective, is so important for the empowerment of women. We need both:
| 1. |
knowledge of society as it is, our social realities and relationships of power and powerlessness, to be able to |
| 2. |
decide our strategies and demands for change that will gain more power for women. |

Having a feminist perspective and strategies for Pacific women would help us to:
| (a) |
Broaden women's activities and add to their impact. |
| (b) |
Gain greater power at all levels to control, influence, decide and change society from a woman's viewpoint. |
