This grassroots organization, based in Udaipur, Rajasthan, is dedicated to creating a society free from gender-based violence, child marriage and discrimination. They work at the core of the issues with communities to empower girls and women, engage with men as partners, prevent child marriages, and support survivors of violence. By addressing cultural practices that perpetuate gender inequalities, they strive for social transformation grounded in equity, peace, and justice.
With a holistic approach to empowerment, their initiatives include economic centers in Mavli and Gogunda, where women gain livelihood skills in stitching and tailoring. Through these centres, women can achieve economic independence, which is foundational to personal agency. They also run projects in Kumbhalgarh, which emphasizes decision-making abilities and sexual and reproductive health awareness, and initiatives in Luni aimed at enhancing maternal health.In addition, a dedicated all India women helpline helps support women in need of support, legal advice or direction.
Recognizing that patriarchy impacts everyone, they engage closely with men and boys as allies, transforming harmful masculinity into support for gender justice. By doing so, the organization fosters a community environment where individuals, regardless of gender, are encouraged to challenge discriminatory norms and build inclusive, equitable relationships.
The focus on young married girls and women (YMGW) within the villages is particularly significant, as they work to strengthen agency, leadership, and decision-making abilities, especially in areas of sexual and reproductive health. This empowerment supports them in making informed decisions, enhancing mobility, and fostering safe, healthy lives within their households. The organization also provides skill-building and personality development programs to increase employability, ensuring these women and young men have pathways to economic and social empowerment.
Through their dedicated efforts, this organization is creating waves of change across Rajasthan, empowering communities to break free from cycles of violence and inequality, while paving the way for a future where every individual can thrive.
