Build Capacities of 400 Deprived Girls in Gujarat

Hello friends, 

AWAG is pleased to share the Progress Report with regard to our project BUILD CAPACITIES OF 400 DEPRIVED GIRLS IN GUJARAT.

As part of building capacities of adolescent girls and young women at the community level, AWAG organised awareness meetings for them in their areas at Ahmedabad. The key issues highlighted were: 

• Heath and personal hygiene
• Women's health, menstruation and related issues
• Awareness on gender violence, self-growth and dignity
• Women’s independence, individuality, existence and need for social justice 

The participants gained information about gender inequality that leads to violence on women. They were informed about a women’s right towards her body and her duty towards keeping it in good health. 

At the end of the meeting, the women expressed that they were now better informed and will put their learning to effect. 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!

AWAG considers raising awareness as the first step towards empowerment; with economic empowerment as the second. Thus, AWAG has a holistic approach towards women’s empowerment wherein women's rights are considered as human rights. 

The conviction to work for the economic betterment of deprived women was strengthened by encouraging and promoting associations and co-operative societies to provide financial support. With this, AWAG NAARI SAVINGS AND CREDIT CO-OPERATIVE took shape and functions as a registered, independent, legal entity. 

The Annual Meeting of AWAG Naari Savings and Credit Co-Operative was held at AWAG Ghar, Bapunagar. The gathering had the active participation of over forty women who are involved in savings and credit activities. 

The meeting was organized on International Women's Day to honour the significance of the occasion and to continue to strive for gender parity and women's rights.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
