Empowerment begins with self-belief and action. For myself, I embrace lifelong learning, continuously seeking knowledge and skills to stay ahead. I set goals, break them into achievable steps, and celebrate small victories. By cultivating a positive mindset and surrounding myself with supportive individuals, I reinforce my own strength and resilience.

To empower women around me, I actively challenge stereotypes and advocate for equality, by being a part of two organizations (GirlUp RAWshni, a UN based initiative promoting Gender equality and Gender Sensitization Cell in the college) that challenge gender based discrimination and stereotypes. I mentor young women, offering guidance and sharing experiences to help them grow their careers and personal lives.

In India, gender equality remains a significant challenge, but collective efforts can drive change. Promoting education for girls, encouraging women’s participation in the workforce, and advocating for policy reforms are crucial steps. By raising awareness and engaging in open conversations about gender biases, we can shift societal attitudes.

Empowerment is about creating a ripple effect—when one woman rises, she lifts others with her. Together, we can build a more inclusive and equitable society where every woman has the opportunity to realize her full potential.
