"Shakti" aims to provide a more powerful view of women and their role in life, to motivate women to step out of limitations, their self-beliefs that keep them stuck in roles of lack of power, submissiveness, victimhood, abuse and lack of self worth. "Shakti" wants to be a place of self-worth and empowerment that women can look at - for honour, respect and better livelihood.
