REACH SAKHI PROJECT Women’s Empowerment

Gender equality remains a burning issue even when women play equally essential roles in driving the rural economy in India. Women have always faced the inequitable distribution of domestic chores besides other responsibilities such as fetching water, collecting firewood, and working on farms. This severely impacts their physical security, adult education opportunities, productivity, income generation capacity, nutritional status, and overall health and well-being.

REACH is driving initiatives to reduce women's 'time poverty' and provide them with access to economic opportunities and enable their participation in decision-making so that they become equal partners in the development process.

Our Interventions

Helping women find their voice is profoundly empowering and has a ripple effect on families and society. REACH believes that women's issues cannot be addressed in isolation but within their social and institutional setup. Women's representation is crucial for a thriving society in social, political, and economic processes. While gender is a cross-cutting theme across all our activities, specific initiatives aimed at women are:
