2.1 Capabilities Approach To free women from gender imbalances, Amartya Sen suggests that it is inevitable to give women equal opportunities as a source of empowerment. The main idea of ​​bringing the capabilities approach into this discussion is to provide various opportunities for individuals to learn about themselves and the environment with them. On the other hand, the capabilities approach collaborates well with Paulo Freire's educational philosophy. She does this through her work on the Capabilities Approach which spans the entire spectrum of life for an individual to participate in working towards all systems of oppression. He distinguishes between capabilities (the ability or opportunity a person has to do or be what he or she values) and functionings (what he or she actually manages to do or be). As Sen says, a person's capacity reflects the alternative combinations of functionings that the person can achieve and from which he or she can choose a collection (Sen, 131). The distinction can also be seen between the freedom to accomplish something and actually achieve it, or between opportunity and outcome. In this case it is a useful distinction, even if empirically it is sometimes difficult to separate the two. Gender imbalances or any abuse can undermine both a woman's abilities and functioning, in several ways. For example, the severe physical and mental harm that an individual may suffer can severely compromise a woman's economic freedoms, such as her ability to earn a living or acquire property, raising fears of retaliation if she goes to work, or tries to improve her skills, or explores various job options, or asserts his property rights. Upgrading skills, in particular, can represent a social opportunity for good health and participation in public life, limiting their ability to contribute to the social and economic progress of a country. Furthermore, given that women's preferences and priorities may be different from those of men, gender issues that undermine women's ability to participate in, for example, government decision-making could mean that some significant public goods that would improve the welfare of society may not be prioritized. Finally, the relative silence on gender inequality in society and in the media highlights the failure of transparency guarantees on this front. It can also be argued that, even if the State is trying to strengthen such instrumental freedoms for its citizens, through a series of public policy interventions, these efforts may prove ineffective or fail to reach women and children, if the dynamics of the issues gender I am ignored.
