Empowering Women: The Foundation of National Development

Women's security remains a paramount concern in the quest for national development, according to Union Women and Child Development Minister Annpurna Devi. Speaking at a national conference focused on workplace safety, the minister articulated the central role women now play in shaping policy and governance.

Minister Devi highlighted the steadily increasing participation of women in decision-making, emphasizing how they are pivotal in societal transformation. She stated that India is experiencing unprecedented changes, paving new pathways for women's empowerment and fostering their integration into the nation's growth model.

The SHe-Box portal, a key tool in addressing workplace harassment, exemplifies the government’s efforts toward creating safer environments. With an increased gender budget, ongoing support through various programs continues to enhance women's participation in the workforce, aligning with the broader goal of establishing harassment-free workplaces across sectors.
