OBS

«Empower» est souvent traduit par «habiliter»; ce terme ne convient qu'exceptionnellement dans le contexte de la violence familiale car il ne s'agit pas ici d'autoriser quelqu'un à faire quelque chose, mais plutôt de lui faire prendre conscience de ses propres forces et de la légitimité d'agir.
