WOMEN EMPOWERMENT SPEECH 4

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT SPEECH 4

As we have gathered here for celebrating this great occasion, I would like to reach an important message of women empowerment in India to all of you through my speech. The aim of Women’s Development Project in India is to bring social and economic betterment of the women all around the country. The core mechanism of this programme was promoting women’s self-help group to make women empowerment effective. To really bring women empowerment there should be changes in the women’s mobility, social interaction, labour patterns, control over decision-making and access to and control over various resources.

Women need to more mobile and start interaction to range of officials. According to the statistics, it has been seen that most of the women started travelling to longer distances, interacting to staff of banks, development organizations, NGOs, etc. There should be changes in the labour patterns means if woman need to attend meetings, husband should look after the children and feed themselves. Husbands are given some tasks of daily routine at home and society. They should help properly a woman during her sickness in the same way she cares after them. Such activities may not bring high level effects to the women empowerment however men may learn to not to dominate over women. In this way women may adopt new productive roles in their life which may bring a huge change.

In many regions of the country where male-headed household system is followed, men are still managing all the financial activities even after being involvedness of women in the income-generating activities so that men can be beneficial to take loan. It has been surveyed that workload of most of the women has increased whom husbands have taken loan on their own name. Women need to have access to and control over all the resources in family and society. She needs to be involved in the intra-household decision-making which may bring slight improvement in women condition in the male-headed households. In India, it is very tough to bring changes about women in the traditional societies. It can be changed but take some time and regular effort.

Thank You
