Our Initiatives

Awareness & Legal Education

We conduct village-level meetings, workshops, and training sessions to raise awareness about women’s rights, gender equality, and legal protections. Through these initiatives, we empower women with knowledge of laws related to domestic violence, child marriage, and sexual harassment, helping them recognize their rights and access justice with confidence.

Work with Survivors & Children

We work closely with survivor women and children, helping them heal, rebuild confidence, and reclaim their voices. One of our most powerful initiatives is our theatre collective, where survivor women transform their personal stories of pain and resilience into moving performances. Through these enactments, they not only spread awareness about gender-based violence but also spark empathy, dialogue, and collective action within communities. Their courage turns storytelling into a tool for education, advocacy, and lasting social change — proving that voices once silenced can become the loudest call for justice.

Gender & Social Understanding

We foster dialogue and reflection on gender roles, equality, and social justice through workshops, community meetings, and participatory learning. By challenging deep-rooted biases and promoting inclusive mindsets, we help communities recognize the value of women’s voices and contributions, paving the way for a more equitable and compassionate social fabric.

Creative & Cultural Programs

We harness the power of art, music, theatre, and local traditions to spark dialogue on gender equality, social justice, and community well-being. Through festivals, performances, and cultural events, we celebrate heritage while using creative expression as a tool for awareness, healing, and unity — blending culture with meaningful social change.

Capacity Building

We equip women and community leaders and the youth with knowledge, skills, and resources to drive sustainable change. Through structured training programs, workshops, and leadership development initiatives, we strengthen their ability to advocate for rights, access opportunities, and lead local governance — fostering self-reliant, confident changemakers within mountain communities.
