Helping women find their voice is deeply empowering and has a ripple effect on families and society.

Women’s representation is crucial in social, political and economic processes for a thriving society.

IMPACT STORIES
Creation of Nari Shakti Panchayat Federation
Mahila Panchayat Federation was formed from women’s organization – the women elected in the panchayat were told their rights from time to time and the implementation of the work was explained in a better way so that their dependence on men could be reduced and women could know their rights.
Panch and Sarpanch together have formed a federation. Nari Shakti Mahila Panchayat should raise their demands like women sarpanch does not get importance due to which women have to be deprived of many rights, provision should be made for more amount of gender budget in women panchayat ward, constitutional information to women panch sarpanch Arrangements should be made for training for women sarpanch, atrocities should be taken seriously under the field of work and redressed.
Informed about their rights in relation to domestic violence, on International Women’s Day they were made to realize their rights and power.
Many opportunities were made available in the village to bring women forward to do evil work in the society. The biggest advantage of this was that wherever there is self-help, evils like liquor, gambling, betting are dying in the villages.
In order to provide a better place to the poor and hard working women in the village, they have been engaged in such work, which has not only helped them grow economically, but has also emerged as ideal. Kaushalya Bai, who never crossed the threshold of her house, is now considered no less than the head of the village. She has helped all the women of her family and organization by joining the self-help group. She took training in dairy and has now emerged as a role model. She is not only earning profits from dairy but also has expertise in making organic fertilizers and fodder for animals. Now Kaushaila Bai is happy with her changed situation and her family is also happy too and thanks MSKPP again and again
