Sreema Mahila Samity
About Us
Sreema Mahila Samity (SMS) completed its 51 years’ eventful journey. This journey was not strewn with flowers. Many difficulties, many hurdles it had to get over. It is still continuing its journey with full of energy and strength to fulfill its vision and mission, its commitment to work for the poor and marginalized keeping focus on women and children. SMS thinks through its various activities it can find the light of social change.
In pursuit of its mission SMS has intervened in the areas of income generation health, education, strengthening SHG, special support to women and children in distress, disaster risk reduction on the part of community and PRI, family counseling etc. Through these activities SMS endeavors to aware people particularly women about their rights and raise their voices and articulate their demand.
Women's mobility, migration and movement, has traditionally seen a societal resistance and patriarchal, moralistic response, often conflated with notions of trafficking and sex work that are extremely judgmental and often flawed.
Empowering Women, Enabling Change, Transforming Lives with Dignity
Realizing its significance in the project area, SMS has worked intensely to challenge popular paradigms and praxis on women's mobility, while promoting a holistic understanding and intervention strategy. The focus is on breaking away from the rescue-rehabilitation-repatriation model and framing the discourse within a right framework where women's voices are heard and their leadership endorsed.
SMS concurs with the belief that every woman has the right to move freely and safely for better livelihood opportunities, without facing stigma, violence and exploitation. In this context, SMS supports interventions by women's groups in the region on the issue of right to mobility which are framed within a rights based perspective and which enable the growth of women's decision-making and leadership.
SMS starting the journey of Community Development & Women Empowerment in 1972 from Baranberia, a remote village of Nadia district, West Bengal, it has now reached to the districts of Murshidabad, Birbhum, Malda and North 24Parganas.
