Women's empowerment has been attempted through a number of different fields including the realms of politics, finance, and education, yet none of these domains are as promising as health care. Here we review preliminary work in this domain and introduce a model for women's empowerment through involvement in health care, titled the "women's health care empowerment model." Principles upon which our model is built include: acknowledging the appropriate definition of empowerment within the cultural context, creating a women's network for communication, integrating local culture and tradition into training women, and increasing the capability of women to care for their children and other women.
人们已尝试通过包括政治、金融和教育领域在内的许多不同领域来实现妇女赋权，但这些领域中没有一个像医疗保健那样前景广阔。在此，我们回顾该领域的初步工作，并介绍一种通过参与医疗保健来实现妇女赋权的模式，即“妇女医疗保健赋权模式”。我们的模式所基于的原则包括：在文化背景中认可赋权的恰当定义；创建妇女交流网络；将当地文化和传统融入妇女培训；以及增强妇女照顾子女和其他妇女的能力。
