Program: Child Rights, Women & Youth Empowerment |
| “Feminism isn’t about making women strong. Women are already strong. It’s about changing the way the world perceives that strength.” This famous quote by G.D. Anderson tells us the importance and need of quality in the society. Women and girls in the semi urban and rural areas are victims of orthodox beliefs and practices that form a vicious cycle inhibiting growth, leading to further complications in adulthood. Keeping this in mind the Trust started some of the most customized and innovative initiatives to cater to their specific needs. These programs saw girls being educated, child marriages being eradicated, gender bias issues been uprooted and what was once the most vulnerable group, now become contributing components of the society. |
