Vision of Swayamsidha
To develop
empowered women who will:
- Demand their rights from family, community and
government
- Have increased access to, and control over, material,
social and political resources.
- Have enhanced awareness and improved skills.
- Be able to raise issues of common concern through
mobilization and networking.
Objectives
With the long term objective being the all-round empowerment of women,
especially socially and economically, by ensuring
their direct access to, and control over, resources through a sustained
process of mobilization and convergence of all the on-going sectoral programmes,
the immediate objectives are as below:
 |
-
Establishment of self-reliant women’s Self Help
Groups (SHGs);
Women will be encouraged to form groups according to their socio-economic
status and felt needs, after which they will network with other groups. In
addition to empowering SHG members per se, by federating and networking strong
pressure groups for women’s empowerment/rights will be formed.
|
- Creation of confidence and awareness among members of
SHGs regarding women’s status, health, nutrition, education, sanitation
and hygiene, legal rights, economic up-liftment and other social,
economic and political issues;
- Strengthening and
institutionalizing the savings habit
in rural women and their control over economic resource;
- Improving access of women to micro-credit
- Involvement of women in local level planning.
- Convergence of different agencies for women’s
empowerment and integrated projects accessing delivery of different schemes
from a single window; and
- Inculcating a subsidy free approach to women’s
empowerment.
