Empowering women means empowering the entire community. Continuing its long-standing commitment to women’s welfare, Dhuri organized this year’s Women’s Empowerment Workshop to promote awareness of women’s rights, legal literacy, and self-defense skills.

The workshop aimed to help women become more confident, independent, and well-informed about their legal rights while equipping them with practical tools for self-protection and empowerment.

Building upon the successful Women Empowerment Initiatives (2021–2023), this year’s program expanded its focus beyond financial literacy and vocational training to include legal education and personal safety awareness — ensuring holistic empowerment for women at every level.

⚖️ Legal Awareness Sessions

Interactive sessions were conducted to educate women about important laws related to domestic violence, gender equality, and women’s rights.

Participants learned how to identify harassment, seek legal help, and access available government and NGO support systems. The sessions encouraged women to speak up and take control of their safety and dignity.

🥋 Self-Defense Training

A hands-on self-defense training program was conducted for 20 women, teaching them simple yet effective techniques to defend themselves in real-life situations.

The training not only improved physical readiness but also enhanced participants’ confidence and mental strength, helping them feel safer in both public and private spaces.

🌸 Impact

• Women reported a stronger understanding of their legal rights, enabling them to make informed choices for their safety and well-being.
• The self-defense training built physical confidence and emotional resilience among participants.
• The program created a supportive and safe space for women to share their experiences, fostering community solidarity and collective empowerment.

Through initiatives like this, Dhuri continues to build a society where women are not only aware of their rights but are also confident to stand up for them.
