    Our Vision

    Our goal is a society where women live with dignity, respect, equal rights, without fear, with strength, and as complete human beings.

    Our Mission

    Women’s Self-Confidence Movement is to unite widows, abandoned women, divorced women, and unmarried destitute women within the Kanyakumari Diocese, regardless of caste, religion, or ethnicity, who have lost their dignity and rights, are economically backward, culturally marginalized, and ostracized, and to empower them to live with self-reliance and self-confidence in the society they live in.
