For Women

Empowerment and autonomy of women has been one of the most discussed human rights across various national and international platforms over the past few years. Yet, continued inequality constantly undermines all efforts towards poverty eradication and sustainable human development, particularly in rural India. Thus, nearly half of the country's population remains the most disadvantaged segment among the poor, yet it is the women who prove to be most effective in fostering change in their families and communities. Women empowerment through capacity building, drudgery reduction, literacy and gender sensitization has always been an integral part of all of GSS's interventions. Currently GSS is providing following interventions in target areas :

• Enhancing level of awareness in community towards equality and rights of the girl child.
• 150 SHGs have been formed in tribal dominated region of Udaipur district through which services regarding microfinance, livelihood generation and social development are being provided.
• Facilitating formation of clusters and federations to ensure vibrancy and sustainability of SHGs.
• Capacity building and facilitating market linkage for the SHGs formed by Government Departments and other Agencies.
