Our Work
Women & Child Development and Social Welfare
Empowering women and children is essential for building a gender-equitable and child-centered society, which in turn is vital for a nation's economic growth and freedom from violence and discrimination. A society where women and children are empowered is more likely to be prosperous, just, and inclusive. The active involvement and well-being of women and children not only contribute to a more balanced and fair society but also drive sustainable economic development and social stability.
Recognizing the critical role of women and gender development in advancing social welfare, the Indian government established a dedicated institution, "the Ministry of Women and Child Development," effective from January 30, 2006. This ministry was created with the specific aim of addressing and mitigating the gender disparities and various issues that hinder the progress of women and children in India.
The Ministry of Women and Child Development focuses on a broad spectrum of issues, from addressing major systemic problems to tackling more nuanced challenges that affect women and children. It works to bridge the gender gap by implementing policies and programs designed to promote gender equality and protect the rights of women and children. This includes efforts to combat violence and discrimination, enhance access to education and healthcare, and provide support services for those in need.
Additionally, the department plays a crucial role in formulating and executing strategies that ensure the safety and well-being of children. This includes initiatives aimed at preventing child labor, trafficking, and abuse, as well as promoting child rights and access to quality education and nutrition.
What We Do
At RIESW, we are deeply committed to promoting the holistic development of women and children through a variety of impactful activities. Our approach is comprehensive, targeting not only immediate concerns but also fostering long-term empowerment and well-being.
One of our primary initiatives is conducting different awareness programs. These programs address critical social issues such as Early Age Marriage, the Dowry System, Child Marriage, and other social evils that perpetuate inequality and suffering. By providing counseling and educational resources, we aim to eradicate these harmful practices and empower women and children with knowledge about their legal rights and available support systems. Our goal is to create an informed and supportive community that actively works to eliminate these issues and promote gender equality.
In addition to our focus on social issues, we are dedicated to enhancing community health and hygiene through our Swachata Abhiyan ( Cleanliness Campaign). This initiative is designed to raise awareness about the importance of cleanliness and sanitation. We organize various programs that encourage proper hygiene practices, waste management, and environmental cleanliness. By fostering a culture of cleanliness, we contribute to improving public health and creating a safer, more sustainable environment for all.
Through these diverse activities, RIESW strives to create a positive impact on the lives of women and children. Our efforts are aimed at not only addressing immediate challenges but also building a foundation for lasting change. By promoting legal awareness, advocating for social justice, and supporting health and hygiene initiatives, we work to empower individuals and strengthen communities, ultimately contributing to a more equitable and prosperous society.
