1. WOMEN SAFETY AND
EMPOWERMENT
Empowerment refers to the spiritual,political,physical,economical
umpliftment of the economy

2. Security and the Pathways of Women’s
Empowerment
While security and women’s empowerment are both
prominent development concerns, there has to date
been little sustained analysis of the relationship
between the two. An unexamined assumption
appears to be that insecurity – violence and rights
abuses – prevent women from gaining power over
their lives through full social, economic or political
participation . Acc. To Roseanne Barr:
“The thing women have yet to learn is nobody
gives you power. You just take it.”

3. Women's rights
Women's rights are the rights and entitlements claimed for women and girls of
many societies worldwide. In some places these rights are institutionalized or
supported by law, local custom, and behaviour, whereas in others they may be
ignored or suppressed. They differ from broader notions of human rights
through claims of an inherent historical and traditional bias against the
exercise of rights by women and girls in favour of men and boys. Acc. To Ruth
Gordon :
“Courage is like a muscle. We strengthen it with use.”

7. A new strategic vision for girls and women:
stopping poverty before it starts
Across the developing world, girls and women continue to bear a
disproportionate burden of poverty. Yet we know it is possible to take effective
practical action that enables girls and women to fulfil their potential. And we
know that the benefits of investing in girls and women are transformational – for
their own lives and for their families, communities, societies and economies.
Empowering girls and women has multiplier effects for economic growth and
achieving all of the MDGs. If we reach girls, in particular, early enough in their
lives, we can transform their life chances. Giving girls greater choice and
control over decisions that affect them helps break the cycle of poverty between
one generation and the next. It enables us to stop poverty before it starts. Some
of the examples are shown in the picture……..

8. Delivering results for girls and
women :
The four pillars for action
 Delay first pregnancy and support safe childbirth;
 Get economic assets directly to girls and women;
 Get girls through secondary school;
 Prevent violence against girls and women.

9. Vision-Mission-Objectives
 Women’s Empowerment Group (WEG) was formed in 1999 in Lahore. A group
of young, motivated professionals working individually for the uplift of society
, decided to institutionalize their activities and work together with special
emphasis on the rights of women and children.
 It is a non-profit, non-governmental organization aiming to strengthen the
process of socio-economic development and empowerment of the
disadvantaged sections of the society, at the grassroots level, through transfer
of knowledge without ethnic, political, religious or any other biases
