Women are the epitome of wealth and power. Women play an important role in society and the whole family is dependent on women for its daily activities. They play the role of mother, wife, homemaker, cook, teacher, friend, Nurse all at the same time while catering to every body’s needs.
There are a lot of women who are extremely talented & multitasker but have no recognition in society.
One of the major hindrances in the growth and advancement of women is gender inequality. This means that we treat males and females unequally even for the same task. This is generally in the case of rural societies. A male child is always encouraged by family to go to school, while the female child is told to learn household works.
As females were given poor education or no education they are not able to get good jobs. Thus either they have to stay at home or do lesser paid jobs. Thus the male always remains the bread earner of the family. So the women hardly get economic independence.
If we wish to see a nation that develops economically on the global front, then it’s very important to have “Women empowerment”. The actual women empowerment will come by making the women economically independent.Quality Education & technical training is the key to women’s empowerment. We shall encourage women from all the sections of society to make their own decisions. They need not take permission from men.
The Ganga Sagar Foundation are making efforts to empower women by creating awareness though education and skill development of women so that can get economic independence.
"My Ganga Sagar Foundation group has given me the confidence I need to take a huge next step, and also the backbone I need to feel like I’m not alone doing so. I am so honored to be surrounded by such an inspiring and diverse group of women, who I know are always available when I need them.
The Ganga Sagar Foundation group was very empowering to me as a woman. I got to hear about women issues and statistics and what could be done on an individual basis to change the numbers.I was able to learn a lot about myself and I received important helpful feedback from Kristi and my fellow classmates. I also enjoyed the field trips!!!
