Women Education and Empowerment Movement (WEE) benefits more than 2000 women every month. We provide employment opportunities to women in five states, including Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh.
WEE movement also works in the fields of menstrual health education, through awareness campaigns in schools and other places, and free distribution of Utkarsh Nirali Sanitary Pads (made from cotton cloth, zero chemicals, and reusable for a year).
Women’s Education and Empowerment Movement works towards the upliftment of women from underprivileged backgrounds through skill development, employment generation, and entrepreneurship training.
We have set up women empowerment centre, the Savitrimai Phule Women Empowerment Centre, to provide skill training in sewing, beautician course, mehendi course, and more to women from underprivileged background.
Women, trained at Utkarsh, have opened their tailoring shops, beauty parlours and are working as mehendi artists, thus earning a livelihood.
Utkarsh also provides employment generation as women are employed to make handmade products such as Utkarsh cloth bags, Utkarsh Nirali Sanitary Napkins, cloth masks, jute bags, radium collars, pet accessories, pet outfits, customized orders, and more.
Another field that we focus on is menstrual health awareness. We organise different programmes such as Utkarsh-Nirali Scheme in schools (awareness and educative sessions for boys and girls, and free distribution of Utkarsh Nirali Cloth Sanitary Napkins to girls); Let’s Talk Periods! Sessions for women from slums and other areas.
