Empower livelihood
“Empower Women in Poverty”
Save Indian has embraced the social project “Empower Women in Poverty” and planned social campaigns and activities to alleviate the problem.
The Intent
Save Indian strongly believes that women’s empowerment is the real change agent in civil society. When women are supported, skilled, motivated, and made to start their sustainable livelihood, their families get empowered. With such empowered women-centric families, society in particular and the nation, in general, will flourish with economic progress. Towards that goal, Save Indians Foundation has taken up the social project “Empower Women in Poverty”.
The Situation
The Indian Constitution has given utmost priority to gender equality in its Preamble, Fundamental Rights, Fundamental Duties, and Directive Principles. The Constitution also directs the States to adopt measures of positive discrimination in favor of women. Women comprise around 50% of the country’s population. Census 2011 shows that the total number of female workers in India is 149.8 million. According to Periodical Labor Force Survey (PLFS) for the year 2020, female participation in work/labor is only 22.2 percent whereas male participation is 56.8 percent.
The Factors
There are several factors hindering women from regular work. Some of them are:
- Prevailing gender discrimination discouraging women from employment.
- Lack of awareness of financial independence for women.
- Discouraging situation in families for women to go out, work, and earn.
- Lack of access to basic education and skill development facilities.
- Many women get married early, give birth to children, and get busy with household responsibilities.
- Lack of child care is forcing women to stay at home to look after children and stop working.
- Dearth of awareness of State and Central Governments’ policies and schemes for women empowerment.
