I am trying to find women empowerment theories. Your work is related to women empowerment so, i thought i should ask you.
Dear Sehrish
we combine Sara Lange’s empowerment theory at the micro level (financial independence, awareness and participation), and Malhotra’s theory at the macro level (the provision of economic, social and political infrastructures), empowing women is being internalized through education in all level.
could i answer your question?
Dear Sehrish,
You better discuss the theoretical foundation of your paper from the following two perspectives. First, why women's political empowerment is important? You can find sufficient literature to address this question. I will start my search from Google Scholar. One useful reading may be:
1) Alexander, A. et al. (2016). Defining Women's Global Political Empowerment: Theories and Evidence. Sociology Compass, 10(6), pp. 432-441.
Second, how do you measure women's political empowerment? You can find useful information in the following article:
1) Sundstrom, A. et al. (2017). Women’s Political Empowerment: A New Global Index, 1900–2012. World Development, 94, pp. 321-335.
You can explore more from the references cited in those articles.
Good luck.
Dear Sehrish:
I recommend you read about the term "agency" widely used by feminist movements. And the term "strengthening" worked by the psychologist Marisela Montenegro.
Both concepts are more acceptable than "empowerment"

My research work was on " safeguarding women & women empowerment".
I have worked on women's safety for their empowerment. Because if a women will feel safe in their workplace then they can move forward to their goal & can establish empowerment.
I suggest creatively to exploit for search of women empowerment the social market economy paradigm, where You can notice many social activation theories, for instance, of "welfare states modeling" (institutional redistributive universal model, etc.), or "social quality" theory (with four corners in "social quality quadrant" - one of them being as social empowerment).
