Collectivizing rural women into Self Help Groups (SHGs) creates a safe space for them to initiate dialogue on gender inequality. At the community level, we work with 50,000 women’s SHGs, which are organized into over 89 women’s federations. Our initiatives like Nari Adalat (literally, women’s court) under the umbrella of Damodar Mahila Mandal Sangh, Koderma are mechanisms of a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution to support women in distress.
Your contribution will support women from Self Help Group (SHG) to challenge gender norms inside the household and the village by working on gender equality.
