Empowerment
Women empowerment is all about promoting women's sense of self respect, self worth and their abilities to make their choices and influence the social change for themselves and for the society. Women empowerment is a fundamental human right that focuses on achieving a peaceful and prosperous world where women are respected and free to do whatever they want to do.
Women empowerment and promoting the rights of women have emerged as a need for the society as a whole. Women are meant to be symbols of power and strength everywhere, they need to be respected at every place whether in marketplace, surrounding, workplace , home or in the community. We cannot say that women are less than men in any area, in fact in today's world they can do everything which men can do. Some of the program being implemented for the purpose are provided below:

programmes
In a developing world, women and girls are considered more valuable than boys. Instead of making them educated, many families make them busy with household work and some families even do the underage marriage of their daughters. We at Avaada Foundation aim to bring awareness on women empowerment across all women especially in rural areas. We have taken many initiatives to make them bold and self-sufficient.
We have seen many cases where men are not giving value to their women. To deal with this we provide stitching machines and operate stitching training centres that make them talented, and we also help them in giving the production orders by which day they become working women and their values will automatically rise in the eyes of their husband. Along with this we have initiated many programs that help the women in powering and make themselves sufficient whether emotionally or financially. And this is not the end, at Avaada foundation, we are continuously making efforts to empower women in every aspect.
