Women Awareness Programme

Empowering Rural Women Through Knowledge, Confidence & Civic Participation 🇮🇳

Highlighting our women awareness program FSC. We are dedicated to rural women empowerment UP, advancing FSC women health literacy, and providing legal rights awareness for women. This integrates with community skill development FSC and holistic maternal health and education.

A Social Welfare Department–Supported Initiative

(Government of Uttar Pradesh)

The Women Awareness Programme was a focused grassroots initiative of the Foundation for Social Care (FSC), implemented with support from the Social Welfare Department, Government of Uttar Pradesh.

The programme was designed to strengthen rural women through:

  • Structured awareness
  • Rights education
  • Health literacy
  • Social empowerment

Particularly in villages with limited access to institutional support and formal guidance, the initiative aimed to transform awareness into agency, enabling women to make informed decisions about health, education, family welfare, and civic participation.

  • Sessions supported by local experts in health, education, and legal rights.
  • The camps emphasized dialogue, participation, and self-expression, encouraging women to speak openly about challenges and explore available support systems.

Community Impact

Though modest in numerical scale, the programme created meaningful behavioural and attitudinal change:

Legal Awareness

Participants gained awareness of legal protections and entitlements.

Active Participation

Women were encouraged to participate in SHGs and local committees.

System Access

Increased confidence in accessing health services and government schemes.

Peer Education

Emergence of peer educators within villages.

The initiative contributed to a broader cultural shift — from passive participation to informed engagement.

Continuing Relevance

While the original structured programme was implemented in 2007, its spirit remains embedded in FSC’s ongoing work. Women-focused empowerment continues through:

  • Health awareness camps and maternal health sessions
  • Menstrual hygiene and adolescent education programmes
  • Skill development and livelihood initiatives
  • Legal literacy discussions during community outreach

FSC Belief

FSC believes that empowered women strengthen families, and strengthened families build stronger communities — forming the foundation of a resilient and inclusive nation.

"When awareness replaces silence, dignity replaces dependence. Empowered women are the backbone of social transformation."

Success!
