Women Empowerment

Gender imbalance exists because of deep-rooted cultural, social, and economic systems that perpetuate inequality. Historically, societal norms and traditions have assigned rigid roles to men and women, often prioritizing men in leadership, education, and employment opportunities while relegating women to unpaid domestic work. Discriminatory laws, unequal access to resources, and gender-based violence further widen the gap. These disparities are compounded by systemic biases and the lack of policies that promote equal participation and representation in decision-making processes, resulting in ongoing inequality between genders in many areas of life.

The Ridvan Kindness Organization (RIKO) has decided to create a space for women to thrive. A space that offers the nurturing environment for women to be able to release the community building powers to contribute to their personal and collective advancement.

This space focus on three ares

1. Capacity Building and Skills Training through entrepreneurship, financial literay that improve their livelihoods and contribute more effectively to their communities.

2. Access to Financial Resources by establishing microfinance programs that offers micro capital, facilitating access to savings and credit groups where women can pool resources and invest in income-generating activities.

3. Leadership Development by encouraging their participation in decision-making at all levels of the organization. 

This space creates support groups where women share experiences, mentor one another, and build a sense of solidarity.
