Women Empowerment in Focus

The need to empower women, especially the poor rural women, is fundamental to the economic development of any Nation.  Evidence has shown that-women perform enormous tasks in their families and society at large. Unfortunately, they have been oppressed and relegated to the background. Women have not been fully involved in decision making to enable them to contribute their own quota in national development. Their problems have not been addressed in spite of the roles they play in productive activities. Statistics have shown that women are yet to attain a stable threshold for personal well-being for gainful economic activity. Inaccessibility to health, education, and participation in the planning process have hindered women’s development. It has also been seen that invisibility is an obstacle hindering women from realizing their full potential. Violence and abuse of women have also posed a great threat to development. BARF is helping women maximize their full potential and place them rightly in the sphere of human development. Be a part of this today by becoming a donor or volunteer.
