婦女福利部門(WWD)
Women's Welfare Department
經過數世紀，現今女性仍然遭受許多剝削，使得女性易於陷入負面的自我印象，而無能掙脫弱勢的處境。
阿南達瑪迦婦女福利部門(WWD)旨在透過靈修來強建女性，幫助女性建立自信與自我肯定，達到身心平衡，並致力於建立一個兩性互相尊重、共存共榮的社會。
1965年，在阿南達瑪迦創始人暨靈性導師師利‧師利‧阿南達慕提的指示下， 婦女福利部門(WWD)成立了 。其目的是要由女性來主導，藉由改善個人和社會來促進兒童與婦女們的福利。
婦女福利部門(WWD)是一個全球性的組織，目前在世界各地於180多個國家皆設有分部。
For centuries, women have been exploited, making women feel that they are incapable and thus self-neglect and accept exploitation.
The Women’s Welfare Department hopes to strengthen women through spirituality, build their self-confidence, self-belief and their abilities, help them balance their emotions, and enable men and women to live together in mutual respect, understanding and cooperation.
In 1965, the Women’s Welfare Department was established under the direction of Ananda Marga’s founder and spiritual master Shrii Shrii Ananda Murtiji. The aim is to be led by women and to promote the welfare of children and women by improving individuals and society.
The Women’s Welfare Department is a global organization currently distributed in more than 180 countries around the world.
