Let’s make a difference through CSR for Women Empowerment
Empowering women is not an overnight process. It needs a lot of
consistent effort because very few women are educated enough to stand tall in
front of men.We have now more organizations realizing the need of promoting
gender equality and so coming forward to invest in CSR
for Women Empowerment. In every term women can be
equally strong as that of women, be it personally or be it professionally. One
thing that is pulling our women back since years is “the chance to grow equally
as that of men”.
This is possibly the main reason why there has been tremendous
increase in number of CSR
initiatives in India, especially in recent years. Seed
CSR initiate its CSR activity by doing proper survey of concerned area and
encouraging women for doing something good on their own. We conduct various
programs for women in rural areas that include formation of Self Help Groups
(SHG), livelihood generation initiatives, quality education, sanitation and
hygiene, etc. Our trained staff teaches them about dairy farming, pickle/
papad/ broom making, tailoring and many other things that can give them chance
to generate employment opportunities, hence makes them self-dependent. We also
make women aware about how to enter market for doing any kind of business by
negotiating about prices and other factors.
While visiting rural areas, we always spot many illiterate women
who are talented but not able to do anything on their own due to their zero
education level. Seed CSR considers this as a big hindrance and therefore we
first give them basic education so that they can read, write and put their
signatures. This is not the end; under our CSR for gender equality initiatives
we conduct awareness programs to educate them about sanitation and hygiene.
We make sure that there is no area left neglected when it comes to
benefit women in every aspect. Investing in CSR
for women empowerment not only helps people from disadvantaged communities to grow more
but also benefits the company that is investing into it. It has a long-term
impact and so attracting corporates to invest more with Seed CSR.
