 WOMEN EMPOWERMENT IN
LADAKH
Women face discriminatio
-n when it comes to decisi
-on making and taking up
entrepreneurship. Yangch
-an Dolma, vice-presiden
-t, Women Alliance, says:
“Things are changing in
this small town — not for

the better, but for the worse. We are now working on dowry and
marriage-related problems in Leh — something never witnessed in
the history of Ladakh. The solution for the problem lies in empowe
-ring women. A woman will always have a say in decision-making
only if she is financially independent. We help women know there
potential by providing training for them in various skills like cook
-ing, weaving, knitting, etc. Such kind of skill-building workshops
also opens up the village women when they interact with others. So
we try to focus on skill development and entrepreneurship.”
