Women Empowerment Social Empowerment
Women face many social challenges today whether it be making soaps and incence in order to secure an income for her family to raising children amidst the harsh economic crisis. A woman is dynamic in the many roles she plays. In the village of Warwarhere in Maharashtra 400 women stood up and raised their voices to ban alcohol and drugs. Women have withstood perennial health problems due to the lack of toilet facilites and are forced to use fields and open spaces for defecation. The Art of Living empowers women to face the present challenges by providing tools and techniques that help to eliminate individual stress. A sense of community spirit is created that allows for women to face these similar challenges as a team rather than individually. The Art of Living encourages women to find practical solutions to their challenges so that each one becomes self-dependent in their own right.
