Woman empowerment

Gender equality remains a burning issue even when women play equally important roles in driving the rural economy in India. Women have always been facing the inequitable distribution of domestic chores besides other responsibilities such as fetching water, collecting firewood and even working in the farms. This is severely impacting their physical security, opportunities for adult education, overall productivity, income generation capacity, nutritional status, and overall health and well-being. WOTR is driving initiatives to reduce the ‘time poverty’ and drudgery of women, provide them with access to economic opportunities and enable their participation in decision-making, so that they become equal partners in the development process.
