I have seen many cases in my life, even with my friends, many girls have left me to study.
00:18
Because they didn't have money, if they could afford education, but traveling was very expensive.
00:26
They couldn't afford any kind of money.
00:29
So now, these girls are coming in front of education.
00:33
Whether they are financially independent, they are coming in front of them.
00:45
Women folk are confined to Kashmir.
00:49
They don't have much independence.
00:51
They can come freely.
00:54
But when there comes such initiatives,
00:57
there is confidence that we have to prove ourselves.
01:02
So there is this cultural, social factor.
01:10
There are also cultural inhibitions.
01:12
The idea that a home is supposed to be a woman's place.
01:15
A kitchen is supposed to be a safe place.
01:17
And not the public.
01:19
This distinction between this private and public sphere.
01:22
Where private is supposed to be for the woman.
01:25
Public is supposed to be for the men.
01:27
This is also, you know, again, this is fundamentally why women lack the kind of mobility that we want them to have.
01:33
And the people who have.
01:34
And the people who live in the far-flung areas,
01:43
live in the far-flung areas.
01:44
They live in the far-flung areas.
01:45
They live in the far-flung areas.
01:46
The girls now live in the far-flung areas.
01:47
They just want to go to the online areas.
01:48
And they don't have necessary transportation.
01:49
And as they were running in crowded bus,
01:50
the tired bus and the crowd was moving.
01:51
And the other door,
01:54
there are no buses going.
01:56
But now, those buses are going on.
01:59
They get free services.
02:00
And the other part,
02:01
these services are using safer.
02:03
I feel like,
02:04
Women Empowerment has a good initiative for women.
