Empowerment
The word women
empowerment essentially means that the women have the
power or capacity to regulate their day- to- day lives
in the social, political and economic terms -a power which
enables them to move from the periphery to the centre
stage. By women empowerment ISARD aims at.
- Equal access to participation and decision making
of women in social, political and economic life
- Equal access to women to health care, quality education
at all levels and employment
- Changing societal attitudes and community practices
by active participation and involvement of women.
- Elimination of discrimination and all forms of
violence against women.
- Building and strengthening partnerships with civil
society, particularly women's organizations.
