WE-WAYANAD :
Women Empowerment in Wayanad

               Social attitudes have changed considerably over the past two decades and legislative and economic developments have opened many opportunities for women. However benchmarks such as pay, promotion, responsibilities, representation in social and political life, poverty and freedom from sexual harassment    and violence tell us we still have far to go before we achieve actual equality between man and woman.

               The organization feels that women in the society need more attention and they have many issues and concerns. Though there are Self Help Groups promoted by different NGOs and government-Kudumbasree- still they do not have a room to share their issues. So, the organization tries to provide an opportunity for them to approach the agency as a resort. As part of it we, implement Helpline Services, Awareness Generation Programs, Befriending services, providing services under Domestic Violence Act etc.
