In today's era of increasing modernization and digitalization, it is really sad to hear about various kinds of social evils (towards women) taking place in various parts of the world. So, the need of the hour is to raise our voices against such ill-practices (like female-foeticide, sex-determination, eve-teasing, rapes, women-discrimination in the Corporate-World, etc.....). Therefore, there is an urgent need to realise the importance of the basic social etiquettes.... The basic objective of our Campaign (led by Kunal Nagpal, Amity University) is to spread awareness (rather 'Social-Awakening' among the masses to stop Women-Discrimination.... So let's join our hands to say a strict "NO" towards all the evils happening in our society towards women because it's really a high time to raise our voice and act.....So Let's Empower Women !!! WHEN SLEEPING WOMEN WAKE UP, THEY CAN EVEN MOVE THE MOUNTAINS !!!

1. WOMEN-EMPOWERMENT
“A woman is the full circle. Within her is the
power to create, nurture and transform.” —
Diane Mariechild

2. Women constitute almost half of the total
population in the world. But their
representation in the gainful employment is
comparatively low.
According to an I.L.O. Report, in 1980,
“Women are 50 % of the world’s population,
do the two-third of the world’s work-hours,
receive 10% of the world’s income and own
less than one percent of the world’s property.
All because of an accident of birth.”

3. Women are generally presumed to be weak, passive,
dependent and people – oriented. On the other hand,
men are considered strong, aggressive, independent
and things – oriented.
Assumptions become reality, when the society prepares males and
females for performance in the presumed roles. As a result, men
and women enter the organizations with different skill – sets.
Even today, in some of the countries, Women are taught to depend
upon others, to limit their ambitions and to avoid exposure & risk.
Such orientations and role – prescriptions inhibit the development
of self – confidence, innovativeness, achievement – motivation and
risk – taking ability, which are essential for a successful
entrepreneurial career.

4. Women face a myriad of social,
economic and structural barriers
which prevent them from succeeding
in their pursuits.
Due to a low rate of financial literacy and a gap in financing
for women entrepreneurs operating beyond the micro level,
many women also have difficulty accessing the appropriate
loans that they need to develop their businesses.

5. The transformation of social fabric of the existing
society, in terms of increased educational status of
women and varied aspirations for better living,
necessitated a change in the life style of women.
A woman has competed with man and successfully
stood up with him in every walk of life and business is
no exception for this.
• The women-leaders are assertive, persuasive and
willing to take risks.
• They manage to survive and succeed in this cut throat
competition with their hard work, diligence and
perseverance.

6. Therefore, Strengths of the Emerging
Women Entrepreneurs:--
a) Ability to learn quickly from her
abilities,
b) her persuasiveness,
c) open style of problem solving,
d)willingness to take risks and chances,
e)ability to motivate people,
f) knowing how to win gracefully

7. The glass ceilings are shattered and women are
found indulged in every line of business.
‘Woman Entrepreneur’ is a person who accepts
challenging role to meet her personal needs and
become economically independent.
A strong desire to do something positive is an inbuilt
quality of entrepreneurial woman, who is capable of
contributing values in both family and social life.

8. MOTIVATIONAL FACTORS FOR WOMEN-ENTREPRENEURS

11. “Re-orientation of educational system for
women”, “curriculum change”, “career
guidance”, “reservations”, “scholarships”,
“incentives”, “effective motivation
techniques” and “timely assistance” are
the ‘needs of the hour’.
Satisfactory progress can be made only by
honest, sincere and dedicated efforts by
all.

13. "The fastest way to change society is
to mobilize the women of the world." -
- Charles Malik
“Women are the real architects of
society.” -- Harriet Beecher Stowe
"Women who seek to be equal with
men lack ambition." – Marilyn Monroe

14. “Think like a queen. A queen is not
afraid to fail. Failure is another
steppingstone to greatness.”
-- Oprah Winfrey
