Strengthening Civil Society – Towards Women Empowerment

Women face discrimination across the world. This had led to great disparity in education, income, wealth and health. Women account for just 10% of the world’s income and own less than 1% of the world’s property. In India, the rate of literacy for men is 80.9 per cent as compared to 64.6% for women, and their participation in labor force is only 29%.

CREATING POSITIVE IMPACT

If a society to develop socially and economically, women empowerment is essential. Ayaansh Welfare Trust's women development activities aim to empower women so that they can become earn their own incomes or become entrepreneurs. We provide sustainable livelihood opportunities through training programs.

Economically disadvantaged women in villages and urban slums lack education and employable skills; they migrate to cities in search of low-skill jobs or work as domestic help, agricultural laborers, and as maids in schools, hospitals, shops and establishments. Ayaansh Welfare Trust has conducted baseline survey to identify skills needed in the job-market and has developed training programs for women to help them become micro entrepreneurs or get better paying jobs.

By helping women acquire non-traditional livelihoods with dignity, we are ultimately developing a cadre of empowered women who become agents of change. These women carry values of inclusion, mutual respect and equality, and democratise the spaces in which they live, whether it’s their family or community.

To create a supportive environment for women to take on non-traditional livelihoods and live with dignity, we also engage with men and women in their communities through a range of community programmes. Through our work we contribute to achieving the goal of economic and social equality for women in India.

Women’s empowerment is to educate and train women with the skills and confidence necessary to earn a livelihood and lead a healthy and dignified life. Improving education for women helps raise their levels of health and nutrition and also reduces fertility rates. Education increases their self-confidence and enables them to find livelihood, and become a voice in the local policies that effect their lives. Education also empowers women to make life choices to improve not only their welfare and health, but also that of their family. When women have the authority to make their own decisions regarding the use of their resources, it is usually seen that, their families and communities also prosper. By supporting a wide range of women-focused programs through NGO-partners, Ayaansh Welfare Trust is empowering a new generation of women who are able to support themselves financially, participate in local governance, provide healthcare for their families and themselves, and, stand up for equality at home and in their communities.

Collectively, our strategies seek to meet both the immediate, and the strategic needs of local women to help women in the present, and build better systems for women in the future. Developmental projects for women offering practical training and encouraging education and independence. We also provide health, counselling, and financial services for vulnerable women. Trained to share, women transfer their knowledge to the other members of their communities and help their communities improve quality of life.
