Women Empowerment
Around the world, it has been seen that women’s participation in the economy, their ownership and control of productive assets speeds up development, helps overcome poverty, reduces inequalities and improves children’s nutrition, health, and school attendance. This is because women usually invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men.
For BREADS, it translates into empowering women to become stakeholders in protecting and promoting their own rights, and the rights of children and youth, preventing violations, encouraging education, better economic and inclusive growth in a marginalised community, thereby helping to accomplish the BREADS mission of transforming the poor into resources and agents of change.
BREADS’ programmes for women promote sensitisation about rights and participation in communities, along with skilling and collectivisation for sustainable livelihoods and entrepreneurship.
