NGO Hosts Women’s Rights Awareness Program

A recent legal awareness program in Kamle district, organized by the NGO Friends for Life and the Arunachal Pradesh State Commission for Women (APSCW), addressed critical issues such as women's rights, domestic violence, and workplace harassment, attracting over 172 participants. The event emphasized the importance of women's empowerment through education and economic independence, with speakers highlighting the patriarchal mindset as a root cause of violence against women. Meanwhile, personal reflections on aging reveal the societal double standards faced by women, who are often judged harshly for growing older compared to men. In South Africa, Gabisile Mabena's participation in a beekeeping initiative highlights the impact of women's empowerment programs in providing economic security. Additionally, discussions around work-life balance for women underscore the necessity of support systems, as leaders are encouraged to foster environments that prioritize women's mental health and well-being. Lastly, Emma Finney's journey of self-reflection showcases the importance of recognizing one's achievements in a professional context, particularly for women navigating career challenges.
