Why We Focus on Women Empowerment ?
Despite significant progress, women worldwide still face inequality and limited opportunities. Did you know?
-
Globally, 1 in 3 women experience violence in their lifetime.
-
Women account for only 39% of the global labor force.
-
In rural India, nearly 50% of women lack access to basic education and skills.
These challenges not only limit individual potential but also hinder the progress of entire communities. Empowering women isn’t just about improving their lives; it’s about fostering economic growth, enhancing social cohesion, and reducing poverty for all.
