Women's Empowerment by RIDE India

The empowerment of marginalized women through education, advocacy of rights, and the creation of vocational opportunities is essential to the sustained growth of the poor underprivileged women sector in Tamilnadu. Our volunteers, staff members and supportive groups are working hard to empower women with the following programs:-

• Create village self-help groups in which women independently establish financial institutions that manage profit-making programs.
• Help a Women's Empowerment Project that provides training for members, holds weekly and monthly meetings, and provides vocational support.
• Educate the public about women's issues to ensure that local women receive equal opportunities and compensation, while promoting gender sensitivity.
• Assess the success of past women's leadership programs and make suggestions for improvements.
• Assist projects that focus on mobilizing local women to protect natural resources by controlling farmland development, composting, and preserving water.
• Establish workshops that introduce micro enterprises to those in rural communities; help provide skills training to increase levels of employment and reduce poverty; and empower women to create their own income-generating activities.
