Brief Summary of Project
The project focuses on empowering marginalized, vulnerable, and climate change-impacted women, including single women, survivors of gender-based violence, women with disabilities, Dalit and Indigenous women, and those whose livelihoods and well-being are increasingly threatened by climate induced hazards such as floods, droughts, and changing agricultural patterns.
The overall goal of the project is to ensure that women and girls especially those most at risk due to gender, caste, disability, or climate vulnerability live in a safe, dignified, and equitable environment where their voices are heard, their rights are protected, and their resilience is strengthened.
