What is women empowerment, how NGOs plays a vital role for women empowerment

What is Women Empowerment? “Women Empowerment” the most talkative word of current society. Have you ever try to understand the actual meaning of women empowerment. Today we will discuss about the real and actual meaning of this word. International women’s day celebrated on 8^th March. On this 8^th of March we celebrate the achievement of women’s in field of politics, economics etc along with the contribution in nation building. Our history is full of women leadership, scarification's, and bravery. Whether it is a boy child or a girl child in family, it is the responsibility of women to take care of both. So from the birth of any child women started contribution in nation building. Each and every should must respect women without any cause. Women’s are the pillars of our societies. The actual meaning of women empowerment is “women can do each and every thing that a man can do without any gender biasness. It means we gave equal opportunity in all fields/sectors to women as men. Whatever our constitution gave the fundamental rights to Indian citizens with irrespective of gender, caste and religion, we have to pass all these right to the women also. For example, freedom of speech, freedom of expressions, equality of opportunities, rights against exploitation, cultural and educational rights etc.

Whatever men can do today, women can also do. The actual meaning is both men and women are equal in all respective. If we gone through our history, women are treated as home makers only. They have no right to go out from home and perform the duties. In all manners they have limited to the inbuilt house activities. There were lots of restrictions on women such as they cannot pursue higher education; they cannot express her views. Women suffers a lot like child marriage, domestic violence, they have no any right in property. But today’s scenario has been changed. Women now demanding her right strongly. They know their rights. They are ready to rebel from each and every social evil. We have to understand these things. Now on international levels, women engage in each and every sector. Even some women got the highest post of many companies. They are now sitting on the decisions making post and many men working under her guidance.

NGOs can play a vital role in women empowerment. From the first day of birth of girl child we have to look after very similar to the male child. We have to give all opportunity like sending school, sending park, sending out side for playing and physical activities. NGOs can play very big role in educating poor and backward families about the potential of a girl child. They can also encourage the families for their higher education. Most of the backward families who lives in rural area are not aware about government scheme launched for girl child. Currently Central Govt. of India running a number of girl child scheme such as “Beti Bachao Beti Padhao”,  “Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana”, “Balika Samriddhi Yojana”, “CBSE Udaan scheme”, “National Scheme of Incentive to girls for secondary education scheme”, “Dhanalakshmi Scheme” along with many more state govt scheme. At village level Dhankeshri Devi Foundation organizes awareness campaign about central government as well state government level scheme. All type of awareness about these schemes can be done only through NGOs. 

Dhankeshri Devi Foundation, organize awareness campaign among the women. We gave special care on girl child student. Girl’s children’s education is totally free of cost including dresses.  We are also trying to add female volunteer as many as possible. Dhankeshri Devi Foundation committed to do their duties at grass root levels. Let’s hope for a better tomorrow for girls child. We have to create such a society in which a female can also live without any fear. 

Respect women and respect Nation!

Jai Hind.
