Delhi/Mumbai: Over 40 volunteers of Transworld Group recently celebrated International Women’s Day by honouring women who have been pioneers of change under the theme of ‘Inspire Inclusion’.
This year’s theme of investing in women is in alignment with Transworld Group’s continued commitment towards women’s empowerment. A sequence of initiatives was undertaken in partnership with ground-level organisations, including a live session in collaboration with Apne Aap Women’s Collective NGO (AAWC), which has been significantly contributing to the social integration of women who have been victims of human trafficking. Sixty-five participants had joined the session on – Stories of Inclusion – to familiarise themselves with the work of the organisation and interact with beneficiary women.
As a partner NGO of Transworld Group for over three years now, the support extended to AAWC has been conducive to helping victims and their daughters through various programs for empowerment and holistic development.
Transworld Group volunteers had further supported 170 beneficiaries of partner organisations – Apne Aap Women’s Collective (Mumbai), Sakshi (Delhi), We One (Dubai) – through distribution of dry-ration kits, hygiene kits, first-aid kits, and personal care kits. The engagement also involved motivational interaction with beneficiary women on their journey of transition, fitness sessions, and Mahila Panchayat model.
Transworld Group has been consistently focusing on women empowerment through their long-term projects focusing on skill development and market linkages in association with Sri Dhanvanthri Ashramam Trust and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham. These projects are enabling financial independence of lesser-privileged women at the grassroot level.
“Transworld Group salutes each woman who has been working hard despite enormous challenges. We are privileged to find NGOs that support our company values and engage with our employees continuously to support the causes that are close to our hearts. We are also grateful to all our volunteers who have come forward to enable a supportive environment for women,” said Anisha Ramakrishnan, Director, Transworld Group.
