Vimukti Pothnal - As a ‘leaven in the dough’ – Catalyst towards change:
Liberating women from all sorts of oppressions has always been the main aim of Vimukti trust. From the past it has been the endeavor of the Trust not only to help women through welfare works but also to direct them to become self-sufficient and have dignity to their life. For the betterment of the women, trust has introduced various programmes and schemes. Conscientization is one of the effective methods that Vimukti has introduced in its approach such as mobilizing women to fight for their rights and demand for justice, formation of community based organizations, empowering them to break the culture of silence and question the system of degeneration through various trainings. Thus it has created an atmosphere of awareness, an insight into the existing oppressive system, and has offered opportunity for a better standard of living and a scope for creative livelihood. On 3rd February 2016 our Ensemble Agissons members visited the tailoring center and appreciated and encourage the beneficiaries to use this opportunity and benefit for their self sustainability.

To make the women self sufficient and effective wage earners 6 months tailoring course is organized in Sirivar village. Nearly 48 young girls are being trained and benefiting from this programme. This is a good program for girls who had no opportunity of perusing higher education. Few girls who are trained have purchased tailoring machine and are now employed.
