Gender equality has gained significant recognition over the past decade as essential for the overall well-being of nations, as well as for their social and economic advancement. One of the key components of the United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) Sustainable Development Goals is the promotion of gender equality and women’s empowerment. This initiative focuses on ensuring that women have equal rights, opportunities, and access to resources, enabling them to make independent decisions and have control over their lives. Empowered women contribute not only to economic growth but also to societal progress and sustainable development. Their involvement in decision-making, education, healthcare, and leadership roles fosters a more balanced and diverse society. Women’s empowerment ensures their voices are heard, their talents are acknowledged, and their full potential is realized, which is a crucial step toward creating a more equitable and harmonious world for all.

What We Do?

Divyaamitram’s women empowerment programme, Swabhiman, launched in 2005, aims to support marginalized and socially-excluded women by providing interventions in nutrition, healthcare, and livelihood. The programme empowers women through innovative community practices, enabling them to access healthcare and drive sustainable changes within their communities. Swabhiman also helps women become aware, skilled, and financially independent. In addition, the programme actively promotes a gender-equal society by involving men and boys in the process of women empowerment, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for long-term change.
