Aim/Objective/Mission: The organisation has been formed
for the cause of women community. It is looking at the
women issues in this area with grave concern. The conditions
of the women in Kabilarmalai block of Namakkal district
are painting an alarming picture. While the women live
under a pathetic state of affairs, there are increasing
cases of female infanticides. The organisation has taken
serious efforts to curb this practice. Generally there
has been fruitful results with declining number of female
infanticides. The NGO is concentrating on the women issues
with twin objectives. Firstly the women need to be relieved
from the clutches of exploitation by the male power groups.
Secondly the women need to be made to attain empowerment.
It would not be exaggerative if the conditions of the
women are put in a nutshell. - The women are generally
illiterate. - They are confined to four walls without
access to society. - They have no say in the family affairs.
- They are treated as slaves - They suffer from male domination
and exploitation. - They also suffer from sexual abuse
and harassment - They are not treated at par with men
in respect of wages - They suffer from general health
problems for want of nutritious food. |
