Empowering Women: Addressing Gender Disparities in Aftercare


The journey towards empowerment for female orphaned youths is fraught with unique challenges that stem from deep-rooted gender disparities. These challenges are about equal access to resources and overcoming societal attitudes that often hinder their progress. The comprehensive study “Beyond 18,” supported by Udayan Care, UNICEF and Tata Trust, sheds light on these issues and underscores the need for targeted efforts to empower these young women. This blog delves into the challenges female youths face in aftercare and the collaborative efforts required to support their journey towards a successful and independent life.


Understanding the Gender-Specific Challenges


1. Societal Expectations and Restrictions:

Female orphaned youths often face restrictive societal expectations that limit their opportunities for education and employment. These societal norms can discourage them from pursuing higher education or careers, confining them to traditional roles which may not be as empowering or financially rewarding.


2. Increased Vulnerability to Exploitation:


Unfortunately, female youths transitioning out of institutional care are at a higher risk of exploitation and abuse. The lack of a protective family environment makes them vulnerable to those who might exploit their financial instability or lack of support networks.


3. Access to Health and Reproductive Care:


Comprehensive health care, including reproductive health services, is often more difficult for these young women to access. This lack of care can have long-term consequences on their health and well-being.


4. Mental Health Stigma:


Mental health issues are stigmatized in many parts of India, and this stigma can be even more pronounced for women. Female orphaned youths dealing with mental health issues may find it harder to seek help due to fear of further marginalization.


5. Economic Dependency:


The limited job opportunities available to these young women often force them into dependency on relatives or partners, which can perpetuate cycles of abuse and exploitation.


6. Lack of Safe Housing:


Safe, affordable housing is crucial for these young women to establish independence. However, finding such housing can be particularly challenging due to their age, gender, and lack of financial resources.


7. Cultural Barriers:


Cultural norms may restrict the movement and freedom of these young women, limiting their ability to engage in community activities or seek employment, further isolating them from societal interactions.


Vedicology Foundation’s Initiatives for Empowerment


The Vedicology Foundation has recognized these challenges and has been proactive in initiating programs specifically designed to support female orphaned youths:


1. Educational Scholarships and Skill Development: The foundation provides scholarships to young women for higher education and skill development courses crucial for securing good jobs and achieving financial independence.


2. Mentorship Programs: Understanding the power of role models, the foundation connects these young women with female mentors who can guide them through personal and professional challenges.


3. Awareness Campaigns on Health and Legal Rights: The foundation runs campaigns to educate young women about their health and reproductive rights and provides information on accessing necessary health services.


4. Safe Housing Initiatives: To protect them from potential exploitation and abuse, the foundation ensures that young women have access to safe housing options.


How You Can Help


Empowering female orphaned youths requires a concerted effort from all sectors of society. Here’s how you can help:


1. Support Educational Initiatives: Contribute to scholarship funds focusing on female education and vocational training.


2. Volunteer: Offer your time as a mentor or volunteer in programs to support young women in aftercare.


3. Advocate for Policy Change: Advocate for policies that improve these young women’s safety, health care access, and employment opportunities.


4. Raise Awareness: Help raise awareness about the unique challenges female orphaned youths face by sharing their stories and the work being done to support them.


Reflective Questions


  • Consider how gender has influenced your opportunities and experiences. How can we ensure that female orphaned youths have the same opportunities?
  • What changes can you make in your community to support the empowerment of young women?
  • How can mentoring make a difference in the lives of these young women?
  • Reflect on a time when you faced a barrier due to your gender. How did you overcome it, and how can you help others do the same?
  • What can we do to challenge the cultural norms that limit women’s opportunities?

By understanding and addressing the unique challenges female orphaned youths face, we can pave the way for their full participation in society. The efforts of the Vedicology Foundation are crucial, but broader community involvement is necessary to create lasting change. Will you join in supporting these resilient young women as they strive to build a vibrant and equitable future?
