WOMEN HEALTH & EMPOWERMENT ACTIVITIES BY SUNDESH
Menstrual health is crucial to the overall wellbeing of every woman. It is also amongst the most challenging development issues today, particularly in the developing world,with lack of awareness, old mindsets, customs and institutional biases preventing women from getting the menstrual health care they need. Statistics suggest that women in the unorganized sector are more susceptible to menstrual infections due to poor sanitation facilities and lack of awareness.To bridge this need gap, SUNDESH Chairperson Mrs. Indira Burman had spearheaded a special initiative on menstrual hygiene in rural india, especially for women from rural India and underprivileged sections of the society.
We commenced our Woman Skill Development Centres, also known as Nari Shakti Kendras with a Cutting-TailoringTraining Centre in 1994-95,offering tailoring training to women between the age group of 15 and 35 years.Our first Cutting-TailoringTraining Centre was set up in village Shaulana.This activity has since been extended to cover several villages in the vicinity.
Even after seven decades of Independence, the discrimination against girls is still rampant in India.As part of its efforts to nurture the girl child and provide her equal opportunities, SUNDESH along with Dabur India Ltd crafted an integrated programme for improving her health & nutrition, besides ensuring her safety.
