Creating a safer society for women Potential partner: CHETNA, Gujarat, India

Project Description

What?

Abuse, rape and violence against women is rampant in many parts of the world.  We would like to develop awareness programs for children to instill values (respect for women), that  yields a safer society for women in due course.

Why?
The team brainstormed on root causes for the abuse directed towards women.  While many causes emerged with possible short term solutions, the team identified objectification of women as a primary cause.  To bring about a fundamental and sustainable change, the team decided to start with today’s children, tomorrow’s citizens in order to lay the foundation for a better and equal society that treats women with dignity.
