We are committed to building a society where every woman, regardless of her role or location, can live without fear.

Creating Safer Workplaces: Understanding the PoSH Law Did you know? The Prevention of Sexual Harassment (PoSH) Act, 2013 is designed to protect women from sexual harassment in the workplace! Here’s how it helps: Applies to all workplaces — corporate offices, NGOs, factories, and more! Mandatory Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) for organizations with 10+ employees. Confidential and fair complaint process. Severe penalties for non-compliance, ensuring accountability. Let’s raise awareness, enforce zero tolerance, and build safer, respectful work environments for all. ✊ WASH United UNICEF UN Women Smart Cities India Expo Smart Cities Mission, Uttar Pradesh jijiwisha society, PAN Healthcare Pvt.

World Mental Health Day: Prioritizing Well-being for All ! As we continue to celebrate Nari Shakti Saptah, it’s essential to highlight the crucial role mental health plays in empowering women and communities. On this World Mental Health Day, let’s recognize the importance of mental well-being for women juggling responsibilities at work, home, and beyond. 🌸💼 We had the honor of speaking with renowned psychologist Dr. Neha Anand who emphasized the importance of acknowledging mental health struggles and seeking support. Her wisdom reminds us that true empowerment is not just about external achievements but also about fostering internal strength and resilience. We’re committed to providing the resources and support needed for women to thrive mentally and physically. As we empower women through entrepreneurship, education, and safety initiatives, we also focus on nurturing a healthy mindset because real empowerment starts from within. Let’s break the stigmas surrounding mental health and work together to create a future where every woman is mentally strong, confident, and capable of reaching her full potential. 💪🧠✨ Watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/gaGx_mUV WASH United UNICEF UN Women Smart Cities India Expo Smart Cities Mission, Uttar Pradesh jijiwisha society, PAN Healthcare Pvt.
