Women Of Esteem Ministries (W.O.E.M)
Women of Esteem Ministries is a volunteer based organization which has been in existence since late 2011.

We assist women who have been silently or openly discriminated against. Such acts limit their lives and invade their personal identities. Self esteem has become a national crisis in our country. The majority of young girls & women today feel they do not measure up in some way including their looks, performance in school, jobs and relationships.

Are our women ready for paritcipation in national development?Today women are being increasingly conscious of what’s taking place around them whether in their communities, their work place, or their social, economic, cultural and political organization. This is obviously a reflection of social, economic or political changes taking place with amazing rapidity in today’s society.

Equality of Opportunity Between men and WomenThis simply tells us about the equality in their dignity and worth as human beings and the rights and opportunities and responsibilities which must take into account its cultural context in which it is to occur.

pariticipation of Women
The Development Process. This calls for Active Professional and Non-professional Participation of women. Emphasis on women’s responsibility and the importance of her role in economic, social, cultural and political development on the local, regional, national and international scene is highlighted.
Why women’s opinions and experience are are almost completely ignored when government plans are being drawn up?
WOMEN must accept the fact that they also have a role to play in this evolution, whether Physical, intellectual, or cultural.
WOMEN must gain full confidence in themselves; for it is through this struggle that women will gain the respect and recognition of the policy and decision-makers.
Developing countries like Antigua & Barbuda need well-prepared women, women capable of playing their new future role in the development of their societies in an effective and meaningful way. The time has come when those who formulate policies to be adopted in the political, economic, social and cultural domain, must be compelled to take into account and accept what women want.
Why women’s opinions and experience are are almost completely ignored when government plans are being drawn up?
- The fact that the traditional role of women is still commonplace in society.
- The division of rights and responsibilities still remains a key component of human behavior especially among men.
- Many still harbor attitudes, regarding women, which see women only in their traditional role as “Mother” and “Housekeeper”
