Women Empowerment
#Sakshamccewe is primary focusing on the development and #empowerment of women and children who are residing in the urban/rural slums by educating them, providing them skills which help them to have more #sustainable life & better living opportunities. As per the general observation many of these youth and women do not find any job to do. Some of them work as domestic workers, and as daily wage laborers in factories. The conditions or material state in which poor youth/women live is characterized by low wages, poor #nutrition, and lack of access to #health care, #education and #training.
Our #organization gives emphasis on improving the daily conditions of women, #children and #youth existence, increasing of youth's awareness and readiness to act against the less visible but powerful underlying structures of subordination and inequality.
The young #girls and #women who work as domestic workers they work within the employer's household and perform a variety of household services for an individual or for a family, from providing care for children and elderly dependents to cleaning and household maintenance. Responsibilities also include cooking, doing laundry and ironing, food shopping and other household errands. These domestic workers cited the presence of physical (including sexual), psychological and verbal abuse; Sometimes they have to work for longer periods of time. They go through various exploitation. Some of the women and young girls work in the manufacturing factories, and/or garment factories, etc. They usually work in unsafe environments and there is always risk of physical injuries. Despite such risks they remain in these jobs as they have less or no alternatives in the city.
