MANT believes that Self Help Group is going to play a very important role in empowering women from the marginalized section of the society. We have been actively working on this for the last two decades. We conduct skill & capacity building training programs, workshops, group discussions under the Self Help Group banner to build consciousness and awareness on social issues among the women group. Along with it, we also impart knowledge on many different ways of income generation and becoming self-dependent by managing abundantly available natural resources productively.

Need

As per National Sample Survey during 2017-18, literacy rate in India among women is just 64.6%, whereas males have a much higher rate of 81.5%. The Workforce Participation Rate at all India level was 53.26% for males but only 25.51% for female

Women are not welcomed in decision making roles and this is evident by these figures

  • In the 17th Lok Sabha, only 6 women found a place in a 58 strong member council of ministers
  • In 2019, the share of women judges in Supreme Court was 9% (3 out of 33) and it was 10% (73 out of 670) considering all High Courts in India.

Women are socially far behind than men.

  • 4% of the total crimes reported are the crimes categorised as ‘crime against women’. Among the crime against women ‘Cruelty by Husband and relatives’ has the highest share (35%) followed by ‘Assault on women with intent to outrage her modesty’ (25%).
  • Only 2.3% of cases of crime against women were convicted out of all the cases of crime against women taken up by the Courts in 2015.
  • According to Census 2011, 2.4% of the total male population was disabled while the same among the female population was 2.01%.
