Empowered women transform society
Many of us celebrate 8th March as women’s day, but let us not forget the other 364 days also belong to us women. We do not want one day’s privilege, we are half the population, whenever we meet, we celebrate our womanhood, our sisterhood. How do these celebrations impact the lives of our women? How have they been empowered? What are the new paths they are breaking? Our journeys with our women are not accidentals, they are transforming society and we need to recognize, acknowledge and accept the contribution of women in every walk of life. They are the unsung heroines whose names will never appear in the Guinness book of world records.
We decided to honor some 80 women from our ‘dwelling units, our teachers, our leaders, whose hard work and enthusiasm has inspired other women. Thus they have become agents of transformation for their families, their daughters and for society at large.
