Reading Club
A welcoming, democratic space where girls and women read, discuss and reflect together — building reading habits, critical thinking and self-expression.
Our Work
Justice, education, leadership.
From crisis counselling to cultural festivals, our programmes meet women where they are — and walk with them toward independence.
Counselling & Survivor Support
The foundation of our work.
We provide emotional support, legal guidance and practical assistance to women experiencing domestic violence, family conflict, abandonment, discrimination and financial hardship. Our counsellors help women by:
- Providing crisis counselling and legal information
- Accompanying women to police stations, courts and government offices
- Supporting documentation and legal procedures
- Assisting with child custody, maintenance and property rights
- Helping survivors rebuild confidence and independence
Many women who first approach us for support later become community leaders and peer counsellors themselves.
Education & Personality Development
Empowerment's strongest tool.
We support girls and women to return to formal education, complete their schooling, access scholarships, and learn about gender equality, constitutional values and secularism.
Our Personality Development Programme builds confidence, leadership and independence — covering public speaking, health and wellbeing, constitutional rights and safety. It encourages girls to pursue higher education and careers while resisting early marriage and school dropout.
Paralegal Training
Access to justice, from within the community.
Our paralegal programme trains community women to understand legal systems and help others access justice. Paralegals:
- Explain legal rights in simple language
- Assist survivors before litigation
- Support documentation and case follow-up
- Connect communities with lawyers and courts
- Help transform social issues into legal action when necessary
Mental Wellbeing
Healing, at the centre of our work.
Recognising the emotional impact of violence, discrimination and social exclusion, we have expanded community mental health initiatives across Kurla and Mumbra — community and family counselling, adolescent wellbeing, creative arts, music and dance therapy, gender sensitisation, and training for community counsellors.
5,000+
women, young people and frontline workers we aim to reach — building resilience, confidence and stronger communities.
