Year Book 2016-17
In the year 2016-17, 234 women were able to get their permanent licenses made and we have compiled their life stories in this Yearbook.
We are a professional feminist organization working across social and religious divides to enable resource-poor women to empower themselves by engaging them in viable nontraditional livelihood options. We are committed to breaking patriarchal boundaries and structures so that the women can exercise control over their lives and live a life of dignity.
We do this through transformative capacity building programs around the self and the skills needed for NTL, based on adult learning principles. We engage with both men and women in their communities so that both can construct a safe and supportive space for their development.
We envision a world where all women (in particular, women from underprivileged contexts) enjoy full citizenship, earn with dignity and generate wealth and value for all. Our mission is to equip resource-poor women so that they excel as professionals and/or entrepreneurs, earn a “livelihood with dignity” in jobs and markets that had traditionally been closed to them.
The Year Book is an endeavor by Azad to bring to light the various stories of women who have ‘graduated’ from Azad in the respective year. This is to say the number of women who have acquired their permanent license in Azad. In the year 2016-17, 234 women were able to get their permanent licenses made and we have compiled their life stories in this Yearbook. The attempt is to document the journey of these women, the challenges they face both within and outside the training and in their personal lives. Furthermore, it explores the moments of fearlessness and realization of self-esteem of the women during the course of training.
