Women empowerment and
child education
“The empowered woman is powerful beyond measure and
beautiful beyond description”
“Children must be taught how to think and not what to
think”
Empowering
women and educating children’s
Every
day that goes by, more women and children’s futures slip away. If we don’t act
now, we risk two generations being left behind - at the same time.
Improvements
in the status of women has often been shown to have positive impacts on their
children, with increased investments in schooling, nutrition, and health. Yet
in order to best target policies and investments, it is important to understand
the nuances in a particular context, to better target where improvements may
have maximum impact.
Women
empowerment has become a significant topic of discussion in development and
economics. It can also point to the approaches regarding other trivialized
genders in a particular political or social context.
It
is only through education that social transformation and economic freedom can
be sought. Today, women are leaders who epitomize the human values of caring,
sharing and re-building societies free of stress and violence.

OVERALL EXPERIENCES
Kajal Sangoi
My
overall experience in TRISHUL was a different kind of experience in my life
doing a social work is a different feeling when you do it and we people never
make out time for such kind of experience thanks to my sociology teacher who
gave us such a beautiful project where we faced something new in our day to day
life. 10 days passed very fast and we love to make the students study in the
NGO. The NGO consist of two branch (WOMEN AND CHILDREN CENTER) We mostly worked
with the children center the children center was quite big there were four
tables the students and the volunteer were divided into that many equipment,
teaching aids, games, and story books were there.
The students used to study with dedication
motivation and love and also most of them were from the Marathi medium they
were weak in English subject so I basically took reading books, story books,
difficult dictation words from the books Also 7:45 its game time in that we
taught them many games which they don’t know how to play. The students were so
nice and encouraging last day I told them bye with happy faces and also some of
them took number of mine and told me to be in contact with me and soon come
again back. It was a very enthusiastic experience of mine will miss these
memorable moments.

Karishma Agarwal
My
experience in TRISHUL was a good. I taught the English words which were
difficult for them to understand and also explain them the meaning of it.
Dictation words from the story was taken by me. I also explained them opposite
words and made them write it down. There were few children in my group of
students were cute and understanding. Math also was taught to the 2nd standard
children like addition, subtraction by drawing the item and telling them to
count and add them. I played with them various games like
business, scrabble, and board games like crossword were also played. On our
last day of volunteering after the games we bought for them snacks and soft
drinks they were enjoying it in the end the head of the NGO visited us and gave
us the certificates and we told them bye with happy faces.

the items and stored them in a systematic way so that the area of NGO will look
clean and it will look very spacious and easy for the women to work in the NGO
so that they feel comfortable. Sometimes we have to give time to the things and
