Bharari - Empowerment of Women and Girls
Women and girls constitute almost half of the population yet, they are deprived of access to resources, opportunities in comparison to their male counterparts and become victims of violence due to their gender. Unfortunately, women in marginalised communities in rural area suffer more. We at Samarthya strongly believe that both women and men should have equal opportunity, in all areas of work and at all institutional levels, to pursue their interests, contribute their needs and ideas and be treated with respect.
The endeavour at Samarthya is to address the root cause of gender inequality and work towards empowering of women and girls
