EQUALITY

FIDA is a women's group which helps women to get respect and dignity they need. They also empower women through workshops and seminars.
In the past, women at our village were very much despised and men took advantage of us alot. We were beaten all  the time, we could not be allowed to inherit a piece of land and many other oppressions that we had to bear because we were considered weak and that we had to obey our husbands.

FIDA organisation started empowering women and told them to fight for equal opportunities of jobs as men and that we we had the same potential as them. They later opened a small branch office and with the help of the government, they were given power to judge over home and marital problems.

FIDA group have helped almost every woman in this village to acquire the much needed respect and dignity in this community and without them we would still be in oppression.
