Achieving ‘gender equality’ through ‘gender equity’
Empowerment as a concept involves various facets – economic, social and cultural, psychological, legal and political. Empowerment is about being independent, self-reliant, and confident. It is being able to take informed decisions and above all having a ‘voice’– to express themselves and their opinions without any fear or apprehensions in such a way as to influence decision making. Hence, empowering marginalised sections of the communities, more so women, needs a holistic approach.
The Organisation wishes to empower women by
» Creating awareness (about their rights, status, duties and gender issues)
» Provide economic opportunities – both employment and self-employment – to women in all the participant villages
» Ensure ‘education for all’ and increase the education levels of women
» Special healthcare awareness programmes for women
» Formation / activation of model women SHGs – the members of which are to act as leaders in spreading the social messages to the communities and take part in the overall transformation of the villages.
