Sewa Foundation
Sewa Women Empowerment Program
“A feminist plan for gender equality, sustainability and social justice.”
The vast majority of the world’s poor are women. Two-thirds of the world’s illiterate population is female. Of the millions of school-age children not in school, the majority are girls. Women in the targeted area are hard-working and can make great contributions toward their quality of life. But the problem persists because they are not the earning party at home, so they are always neglected for their rights and never given the place they deserve.
SEWA is working for women’s empowerment through vocational training centers and has a project providing vocational skills training to polish their existing skills and gain new skills.
The aims of establishing SEWA Training Centers are:
- Availability of decent employment opportunities that involve good working conditionsSocio-economic empowerment of women to maximize their participation in the national economy.
- Economically empowering women to combat violence against them.
- Enhancement of the quality of women’s lives.
- Gender-based community development.
- To promote skill-based income resources by training women and thereby empower them with the knowledge of themselves and to strengthen their position to make them one of the earning members of their households and communities.
SEWA is a civil society that works on effective contributions to sustainable processes of social and economic development through implementing programs that uplift marginalized segments to overcome financial, social, educational, and intellectual poverty levels in the community.
