Welcome to
Women Empowerment Association
Ever since its inception, the College of Social Work, Our Founder, has emerged as a champion of human rights, believing that social work education and responding to the ground reality of human life must go hand in hand.
During the 2020’s when the “harassment” problem received much publicity as a source of violence and social injustice to women, the College readily responded to the invitation of the District Vigilance Commission, Govt. of Maharashtra, to participate in a concerted action against violence on women.
This Vigilance Cell initially worked under the Collector of Mumbai as Chairperson of the Committee. The Cell received funds from the Committee and submitted regular reports of its activities. However the official representatives on the Vigilance Cell were not able to give the attention required to approach the problem on a war-footing as was necessary for change in the system. Hence the project for Women Empowerment Association was launched as the harassment Guidance Cell of the District Vigilance Committee.
