Women Empowerment Program in Rural Women

Rural women have been often neglected during the women empowerment initiatives. Joy Foundation wants to initiate this project so that rural women could become involved in the women empowerment initiatives and processes. These rural women need awareness, now more than ever, when the situation of women in Pakistan is getting harder with each passing days. Each day women are being raped, killed and domestic violence have become so common these days. Its a kind of femicide going on in the country, when everyday we hear a new story of a women raped, killed, strangled to death, domestic violence to death, such cases have become so common these days in Pakistan.

Through this project we aim to empower and self-sustain rural women, who are not aware of the situation going on in the country. These women need to be self-sustained and brave enough to look after themselves and the solution to this is a project that targets the self-confidence of women and utilizes their abilities to make them empowered women who can come forward for their rights. We hope we will soon have enough funds so we can commence this project, because it is high time for such initiatives for the safety of women in Pakistan.
