Why Women's Empowerment Matters
Empowering a woman transforms not just her life, but the lives of her children, family, and community. Yet, rural women still face challenges such as:
Early marriage and school dropout
Lack of access to health services and reproductive rights
Unpaid labor and economic exclusion
Gender-based violence and cultural discrimination
RDIF's comprehensive approach is designed to uplift women holistically—as learners, earners, leaders, and changemakers.
