Over the past ten years, there has been growing recognition of the significance of gender equality, not only for the well-being of nations but also for their social and economic progress. Advancing gender equality and empowering women are fundamental components of the Sustainable Development Goals. This entails advocating for equal rights, opportunities, and access to resources for women, enabling them to make independent decisions and have control over their own lives. Empowered women contribute positively to economic growth, social advancement, and sustainable development. They actively participate in decision-making processes, education, healthcare, and leadership roles. Women empowerment fosters a more balanced and diverse society, where women’s voices are valued, their talents are acknowledged, and their potential is fully realized. It represents a critical step toward creating a more just and harmonious world for everyone.

Women empowerment program by Sai Nath Shiksha Sewa Samiti is aimed at reaching the marginalized and socially excluded women through vocational training courses. These courses empower women to effect lasting positive changes in the community, while also assisting them in gaining awareness, skills, and financial independence. Additionally, Sai Nath Shiksha Sewa Samiti actively strives to promote gender equality by involving men and boys in the women’s empowerment process.

“Why do we, as mature women, often find ourselves deemed unimportant?” It’s even more painful when our own children treat us like burdens. We’re cherished only as long as we’re in perfect health. Our aging faces and toothless smiles don’t seem to hold any appeal for anyone. After my husband passed away, I poured my heart and soul into raising my children. I even worked as a construction laborer to ensure my children didn’t go hungry.

I made a promise to myself that I would never beg. So, I began designing and selling stitched suit pieces after receiving training in Dress Making from Sai Nath Shiksha Sewa Samiti. The earning is enough to sustain me, and aside from buying food for myself, I can even manage to buy sweets for my children with the earnings.

When I expressed my desire to become a doctor to my father, his face lit up with the most immense smile. He felt immense pride in my aspirations and wholeheartedly encouraged me to stay committed and resilient. He has consistently been my most fervent advocate and source of inspiration.

Throughout my upbringing, I observed my father working tirelessly to provide for our family. He juggled multiple jobs and devoted long hours to his work, always maintaining a cheerful demeanor and a positive outlook. Whether it meant enduring extended work shifts or taking on extra responsibilities, my father consistently prioritized our family’s needs.

Despite the obstacles he encountered, he never wavered or lost sight of his objectives. He instilled in me the significance of diligence and demonstrated that with unwavering determination and effort, anything can be achieved. It is due to his unwavering support that I am resolute in my pursuit of my dream to become a doctor and make a positive impact on the lives of others.

Much like many others in my community, we rely entirely on my father’s income. He works as a daily wage labourer in a marble factory. We reside in a rented home, and the rent is so high that it leaves us with very little to cover our monthly expenses, let alone afford schooling.

I approached Priyanka Didi, a field worker from Sai Nath Shiksha Sewa Samiti (SNSSS), she advised me to enrolled in one of the vocational training courses, to learn new skills and to became another earning member of the family.

Name: Yasmin Khan

My father used to be in the business of selling vegetables, but when the pandemic hit, everything came to a standstill, and he had to stay at home.

There came a point where we could only afford to eat once a day to ensure we had enough food for the next day. Schools were also forced to close, and I was uncertain about whether I would ever get the chance to continue my studies. Then, one day, teacher visited our home and explained that they would now conduct classes at the village temple. Only a small group of 8-10 children would attend each session, and everyone had to wear masks. During that time, I was on the verge of giving up, but that visit from my teacher and the commencement of these cluster classes became my ray of hope. Now, the school has reopened, my father has resumed his work, and I am putting in my utmost effort to pursue my dreams.

Yasmin Khan, a student at Sarvodaya kanya Bal Vidyalaya SKV, H- Block, Sultanpuri, New Delhi, is resiliently holding onto dreams of a brighter future despite the challenging circumstances.
