Women Empowerment Center (Concept Note)

Introduction

Women Empowerment Center is a project of The Pleaders Trust which is a partner organization of Humanity Assistance and Relief Trust. The Idea of Women Empowerment Center was generated from the concept that the deprived women should be given skills so that they can stand on their own feet and contribute as active citizens of the society.

It is not only the poor women which are deprived rather there are women belonging to all classes having miserable life styles because of different circumstances in their lives. Most deprived women suffer because of men which are mostly in their close relationships such as father, brother and husband.
