Year Book 2023-24

This yearbook honors the resilience and courage of women at Azad Foundation who have defied societal norms and embraced non-traditional livelihoods. Azad Foundation, a professional feminist organization, has been at the forefront of empowering resource-poor women by providing them with opportunities in unconventional careers, particularly through its flagship “Women with Wheels” (WWW) program. This program equips women from marginalized backgrounds with the skills and knowledge to become professional drivers, fostering self-reliance and raising awareness about their rights.

In 2023-24, 511 women earned permanent driving licenses, with 347 qualifying to drive 4-wheelers and 164 securing 2-wheeler licenses across seven centers in India. In this yearbook, we celebrate the remarkable journeys of these women, showcasing their unwavering determination to challenge stereotypes and pursue their dreams. Each story highlights the transformative impact of equal opportunity and challenges societal limitations, demonstrating what is possible when women have access to skills and knowledge to thrive in non-traditional livelihoods. Through this publication, we aim to inspire future generations to embrace their aspirations, break boundaries, and transform the landscape of opportunities for women everywhere.
