Club Workshop Series Phase 1 “EmWo”…

Club Workshop Series Phase 1 “EmWo(Empowering Women)” organized by SLTC Leos was successfully completed on 25th August 2019, 9.00 am to 12.00 pm at Manapubudu Library, Piliyandala. That was the workshop for improve and motivate the future leading women.

Empowerment has become a widely used word. ‘Empowerment’ in its emancipatory meaning, is a serious word- one which brings up the question of personal agency rather than reliance on intermediaries, one that links action to needs, and one that results in making significant collective change. It is also a concept that does not merely concern personal identity but brings out a broader analysis of human rights and social justice. Empowerment includes individual and collective abilities that offer a socio-political space as well as access to and control of different means. An analysis of the empowerment process highlights the way in which opportunities to seize power can be used or overlooked as well as the way in which they can change the immediate or wider environment.

Women’s participation in decision making, leadership and peace building is important as right in itself. Women also bring particular perspectives, priorities and strengths resulting from their life experiences, which are often different from men’s. Tis means they are likely to make different decision, with women responding more strongly to women’s policy priorities. Private sector businesses that have female leaders to deliver stronger financial performance. This shows the power of women’ thoughts. Te women at the negotiating table made a difference, especially by promoting language on the important provisions of meaningful and inclusive participation.It is time for women to be empowered. To know that their voices count – and that they count. We have to condemn all acts of violence, establish equality in our work and home lives, and change he everyday experience of women and girls. There is an inescapable truth – we cannot transform our world unless the place of women within it is transformed. Policy and Political dialogue on gender equality and women’s empowerment helps create a shared understanding of country specific issues, perspectives and approaches to the effective promotion of gender equality and women’s right. 

EmWo was conducted by Mr.Douglas Siriwardana. He is a lawyer and good adviser. That program was not only the session but also had some fun activities and enjoyable games to entertain to us. All the participants awarded with participation certificates, the winners of the games awarded with the appreciations.
