and Gender Studies

In this 21st century, we are talking about the empowerment of women ? Why is it needed ? Where in the whole world women are called with many different names by their work, their ideas, their creativity, & so on. So why do you think that, we are still, in need of women empowerment ?

What women empowerment means ?
Women empowerment mean to empower women in different ways like their sense of self worth, determine with their own choice, awareness about their rights & duties, financial independence, stand in the society & so on.

Even there are still the problem about gender difference. Like women are not meant for this women should be only taking care of the family & doing household chore & so on. This all things are ongoing since earlier times. And due to that it has became the mindset of people about women. That has to be change.

Each & every women has right to step up on their own legs & can also earn for their family. If family is well worthy & don't need money than also women should work for her self satisfaction.

Women empowerment & gender equality is one of the global priority by unseco. For the basic human rights of gender equality for the women across the globe for their emplyoment, services, rights, education. Because many of the women are lack of access to such basic requirements.

The center mainly focus on empowering women with the needs of women. As each center aims that empowering women leads to strenghting of the society. The center also provides training to the women with their area of interest. Firstly, the center will list the womens & then have a conversation with them about their life. Then they will encourage the women to take a step towards their better life. When women gets agree to it the center asks women to meet them at their institute & then dicsussed in some detail about if they have been doing some work from earlier or not. If not then about their interest area. & after that the center focuses on the training part of their choice. Some of the center's ask for some fees so that women would do it properly for their own benefits & some center don't charge any thing.

Then after completing their training period the center link the women with the market with their skills what they have learnt through out in that training. & settle them for a job or home base work. Even many of the center give loans to women for their empowerment. That's a really great step towards actually empowering women.
