Women Get To Do The Man's Job, Thanks To USHA For Promoting Gender Equality

To enhance the skills of women, USHA has been working with them in the states of Manipur, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. But unlike in other places, the training in the north and northeastern states go beyond the mainstream, setting an example in gender equality. Here, the women get mechanical training wherein they learn to repair sewing machines which was considered as a man's job, along with using it. An extra skill set is now helping women earn additional income by putting their knowledge to use.
