Abstract
Empowerment is the act of giving or empowering someone. Female empowerment is empowering women to have the capacity and willpower to fight for their rights, equality and their personal and professional emancipation. This work aims to understand the current context of the accountant by focusing on the phenomenon of empowerment. In the review of the literature, the focus was on gender (in) equality, empowerment and women's empowerment. This is a descriptive qualitative research. Data collection was done through interviews with twelve Angolan accountants. About the results, regarding the access to the profession, the interviewees had the support of their relatives; are in good working environment; but have had and have a difficult trajectory to be in the places in which they are; had and still have salary differences compared to male colleagues. Many of them have good financial autonomy and would like it to be better and say that there is little appreciation as a woman in companies. About training, they believe that the Accounting Course has helped them a great deal, even if they feel more competent in the execution of their activities.
