Importance of employment in their life
Normalizing is the new rage of revolution in humankind, where we ought to talk about everything thing in a casual yet responsible way. But not everyone is counted in by society.
Sheroes cafe is an exemplary model
The staffers of this cafe are acid attack survivors. This cafe is unique and one of a kind. It emerges itself to be the first-ever cafe in India run by acid attack survivors. This cafe is quite famous among tourists who have heard of this cafe and among locals as well.
In the initial years, this cafe did not have a fixed price for meals served, as employees here were not skilled and inexperienced to run a cafe. So for many years, they had a ‘pay what you want’ policy. But now they have a fixed price menu. Sheroes have an interesting library corner and information displays on the wall.
Sheroes Branches
This cafe currently has three branches. The first branch was inaugurated in 2014 in Agra nearby the Taj Mahal, the second one in Lucknow and the third one is recently opened in Noida. Two Kiosks of sheroes, a collaboration between the channav foundation and Noida Authority have been set up at the Noida Stadium sector 21A.
The newest branch in Noida is run by 4 women, however, 28 others are employed at the other two branches. This cafe is an initiative by the Channav foundation to give employment opportunities to women whose acceptance in society is stabbed by humans with the heinous mind.
Role of employment in acid attack survivors’ life
Employment today is essential to meet the requirements of necessities. And for these survivors, it becomes more important to establish themselves as strong and independent individual. Their earrings through this help them to cater for their needs, the needs of their families and their treatment expenditure.
Women employed at this cafe share their experience of becoming more confident with life and society. They do not have to cover their faces here, they believe that they haven’t done anything wrong to hide their faces, and the accused should be the ones to hide their face.
Conclusion
Independence plays a key role in the development of an individual. And for acid attack survivors, Independence becomes more essential as they do not wish to be a burden on others as well as on themselves. This cafe also emerges as an inspiration and example in society and increases awareness among these survivors and their families.
