Women Empowerment for a sustainable society
As far as the ideology is concern, we at NDS believe that empowering of women means to participate fully in economic life in all sectors, essential to build stronger economies, achieve internationally agreed goals for development and sustainability, and improve the quality of life for women, men, families and communities. In this scenario, the private sector is a key partner in efforts to advance gender equality and empower women in the society.
The present scenario of Covid-19 pandemic has brought significant role of women in protection and guard the family. Suddenly she has burden to shoulder the responsibility of family, work and economy. The Women's Empowerment Principles offer practical guidance to business and the private sector on how to empower women in the workplace, marketplace and community. Developed through a partnership between UN Women and the United Nations Global Compact, the Principles are designed to support companies in reviewing existing policies and practices — or establishing new ones — to realize women's empowerment.
However, we work in a society where social traditions are high and deep rooted. For example, a family is very imperative part of life of a woman in Indian society rather than a man. The system is rooted in our culture, and being a man dominated and hierarchical group, they never delivered justice to women. Last thirty years are evidence of woman empowerment in our country, yet there is need to bring change in behavior of male domination vice a versa woman behavior. Keeping in mind, NDS is working on this area with objective and believe that a female is a founder stone of a society which sustained it and spreads roots all over the world.
