Women Empowerment Session

The term “Women Empowerment” refers to empowering women with education, employment, decision making, and better health in view of an equal and just society. Women Empowerment is a process to make the women financially independent, educated and progressive, enjoying a good social status. Women since ages have been struggling to be socially and professionally recognized as equivalent to men. Women empowerment is the empowerment of women which helps them to take their own decisions by breaking all personal limitations of the society and family.
