WHY WOMEN EMPOWERMENT?
Over the past decade, gender equality has emerged as not just a moral imperative, but a driving force behind the health, prosperity, and progress of nations. At the heart of the UNDP’s Sustainable Development Goals lies a powerful commitment: to promote gender equality and empower women around the globe.
Empowering women means ensuring they have equal rights, access to opportunities, and the freedom to make their own choices. It’s about enabling women to lead, to thrive, and to shape their own futures.
When women are empowered, entire communities flourish. They become catalysts for economic growth, pillars of social development, and champions of sustainability. From boardrooms to classrooms, from healthcare to government, empowered women are making their mark—driving innovation, fostering inclusive decision-making, and inspiring change.
By investing in women, we build stronger, more balanced societies—where every voice is valued, every talent is nurtured, and the full potential of humanity is realized. Gender equality isn’t just a goal—it’s the foundation for a better, fairer, and more harmonious world for everyone.
What we do?
Launched in 2006, Suri Dangalpara Janakalyan Sangha’s Nayi Disha programme is a transformative initiative dedicated to empowering marginalized and socially-excluded women across India. Rooted in the principles of dignity, equity, and sustainability, Nayi Disha delivers targeted interventions in nutrition, healthcare, and livelihood development, ensuring holistic support for women at the grassroots level.
The programme goes beyond traditional aid—it builds capacity and fosters self-reliance through innovative, community-driven practices. Women are equipped not only to access essential healthcare but also to become active agents of change within their communities. Through comprehensive training and awareness-building, Nayi Disha enables women to gain critical life skills, vocational abilities, and financial independence.
Recognizing that true gender equality requires collective effort, Nayi Disha also engages men and boys as allies in the empowerment process, promoting shared responsibility and breaking down deep-rooted social barriers. By nurturing informed, resilient, and economically empowered women, Nayi Disha is laying the foundation for a more inclusive, equitable, and progressive society.
