Celebrating Women’s Day! Women in slums – More Power to You
Women in slums play multifaceted roles that are essential for the functioning of their communities. Beyond their traditional roles as caregivers and homemakers, women often take on additional responsibilities such as managing household finances, sourcing clean water, and ensuring family health and nutrition. In many cases, they are also active participants in informal economies, engaging in activities like street vending or domestic work to contribute to household income. We salute their resilience and strength!
