To the abode of gods I am going,
Leaving this egocentric and self centered world behind .
Died; because I was brutally raped,
Sad; that I could not escape.
Mother and Father will see me lay in a coffin,
Will miss my essence in the house; will cry often.
I know mother, you’ll die every day,
But you’ll hold back your tears; in every possible way.
Nobody will be there to play with my brother,
He will pretend normal; but will try to find me in others.
My friends will stay near my corpse,
Their eyes will be completely wetted with tear drops.
They will not be able to see me again,
Their faces will show a terrifying solitary pain.
I am leaving them is all I can say,
For I have fought a lot with my destiny,
And now I feel pity for death;
Who has been standing
And begging me to accompany.
Every scar,
Every bruise
Speaks of the torture
And molestation I have been through;
To this Egocentric and self centered world
I bid adieu
I bid adieu......#CONSTITUTION (article 14)

“One of the most enduring
cliches about India is that it
is the country of
contradictions. Like all
cliches, this one too has a
grain of truth in it. At the
heart of the contradiction
stand Indian women: for it is
true to say that they are
among the most oppressed
in the world, and it is equally
true to say that they are
among the most liberated,
the most articulate and
perhaps even the most free.
Can these two realities be
simultaneously true?”

Holistic approach to Empowerment
(i) It is important to increase participation of
women in leadership roles. Having women
in visible leadership positions has a positive
impact for improving both women and
men’s views on the capabilities of women
as community leaders and in improving
justice outcomes for women.
(ii) Increasing the presence of women in
court proceedings and encouraging them
to take an active role can positively affect
women’s feelings about the performance
of the traditional court system.
(iii) Active promotion and support by
village chiefs of new cultural norms is
essential to increase awareness of rights.
(iv) Interventions that encourage local discourse on challenging ideas and that are
structured around locally legitimate change processes can have progressive results.
(v) Modifying customary practices requires policymakers and development
programmers to look beyond strategies that seek to align customary practice with
statutory law to better understand why rights-abrogating customary practices exist
and what other purposes they might serve.
#CONSTITUTION The State not to discriminate against any citizen on grounds only of
religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them (Article 15 (i))

Gender Budgeting
A vital step ahead
Gender budget initiatives analyse how governments raise
and spend public money, with the aim of securing gender
equality in decision-making about public resource
allocation; and gender equality in the distribution of
the impact of government budgets, both in their benefits
and in their burdens. The impact of government budgets on
the most disadvantaged groups of women is a focus of
special attention
An exercise to translate stated gender commitments of the
Government into budgetary commitments.

Our innovation

paying females won’t mind to give 2% of
the concessions they receive in taxes for
assured security
Female bus services
Generating awareness on wide scale from
grass root level by using pamphlets and
prints on ration cards and aadhar cards
