Divorced, separated, and widowed women are not given due respect in society. To empower these women this Center was started at Latur on 8th August 1994. The objective was to achieve social integration of these women so that they lead respectful life. In 2008, a specious facility was built to accommodate these women. Over 450 such women have stayed at this facility along with their children up to age of 5 years. These women stayed here from various rural regions of Marathwada for the purpose of education. All of them are now economically independent and have earned respect in the society. We have now started skill training programme for the urban women in need.
