Over more than two decades, we have supported diverse groups of women in their struggles against violence, from women facing domestic violence, Dalit women confronting caste violence, single women dealing with prejudice and exclusion in their daily lives, women facing sexual violence in the workplace and women workers in the informal sector whose rights are routinely violated by the State. We also actively support young women facing sexual abuse and other kinds of violence.
A long-term goal is to mobilise communities to challenge and resist violence. As part of this effort, we support communities in organising and creating mechanisms to address violence in their neighbourhoods. We are involved in interventions in two resettlement colonies in Delhi – Madanpur Khader and Bawana.
We are also involved in the frontlines of public education and policy advocacy.
Apart from this, we provide direct support (counselling, referrals, legal aid and facilitation of alternatives) to individual women facing violence. Through feminist counselling, we help the woman move from being a victim to becoming a survivor to developing as a change agent by providing support to other women in distress.
