 NEED FOR WOMEN WELFARE

1. There are several reasons why there is a need for women's welfare.
One of the main reasons is that women have historically been
discriminated against and have faced various forms of violence,
including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse

2. Additionally, women face a range of economic and social challenges,

such as lower pay and fewer opportunities for career advancement.
Women's welfare programs aim to address these disparities by
providing job training, financial assistance, and educational
opportunities.

sexual assault, and human trafficking.

opportunities for personal and professional growth.
