WETA Women’s Day: A showcase of cultural, social & political achievements

Strong women aren’t simply born. Women are forged through the challenges of life. With each challenge they grow mentally and emotionally moving forward with head held high and strength that cannot be denied. Women who have been through the storm and survived are warriors. Feminism isn’t about making women stronger. Women are already strong, it’s about changing the way the world perceives their strength. “Together We Rise – Together we grow, let us hold hands and lift each other” as it speaks of the importance of ally ship, collaboration and the adage that “rising tides lift all boats”.

Women Empowerment Telugu Association WETA has celebrated the International women’s day on March 26th, 2022 virtual event celebrating the cultural, social and political achievements of Telugu women in particular. Here is our mission and we strive as strong team of 22 women to achieve the goals and help the needy women in the society in different ways. WETA was established in 2018 and launched in 2019 to create a platform for women to uplift other women specially to empower them.
