Awakening documents the social and economic empowerment of women in Afghanistan and India whose roles have traditionally been restricted by their cultures. Awakened to new possibilities through education and access to micro-loans these women are redefining their roles in society.

In Bihar, India's poorest state, Sister Mary Lobo organizes village women into groups where they learn to save small sums and invest their capital as a group. In Afghanistan, the nation's first woman-led micro-finance institution believes the nation's long-term success is dependent on women's economic freedom.

  • This so called Empowerment movement is only good for self propogandization of a few who are not psychologically or emotionally fit to make good decisions. This so-called empowerment does not benefit the overall unification of the masses, rather than another form of divide and conquer. While the overly feministic media view disuades any balance between genders it also persuades the younger male generation to taken more feminine personality traits, that is not natural nor is it holy.
