Need for WORD
In the early 1980's, there were no exclusive organisations working in the area to represent for the burning problems against women and their development in the society. A personal experience by Mrs. D. Shanthi in her life realized her that the need of an organisation to work for the development of women in a male dominant society at that time.
It led to start an organisation to uplift the socio-economic, cultural development of women in the society. A group of five social minded women from different religions led byMrs. D. Shanthi started the organisation in 1985 to stand up for the issues and needs especially to the weakest of the weak and the poorest of the poor underserved families.
WORD has got the statutory recognition in the year 1988. Since then, WORD has spread its activities in all spheres and its integrated approach helped the over all development of women, children and the society. Moreover WORD is an organisation of women, for women and by women. WORD also strongly feels that women play a crucial and important role in the development of men, children and the society.
