In the small village of Anupshahr, Uttar Pradesh, very few know the words "women empowerment".
They are unaware of the profound meaning these words carry in today's society, and their social, political, and economic significance. Women in this village do not know about the various feminist campaigns running throughout the country. They haven't read the most powerful women empowerment quotes or heard the most inspiring speeches on feminism.
And yet, more than a 100 women in this village are skilled, confident, and self-reliant. They are empowered women who make their own decisions, unfettered by social norms and gender stereotypes. They are the women who work at I Village Social Solutions. The opportunity to work hard to earn their own living changed their lives, and transformed them as individuals.
Seeing the happy and self-assured tribe of women workers at I Village, one can't help but wonder, "Why does the simple step of providing employment to women in the rural areas lead to great changes not just in their own lives, but in the entire community as a whole?"
