Women & Girls Empowerment.
(Dignity, Action, Rights,Empowerment - DARE)

"Women empowerment is not a position or possession. It is about creating an image of dignity, self-respect and values for women."

Geeta Malhotra

The full potential of women across the globe has not been fully realized. Gender inequality remain highest in Africa and the global East. This is attributed to persistent social, economic and political inequalities.

Gender inequalities are still deep-rooted in every society and harmful practices such as FGM, child marriage and other forms of harmful practices continue to derail the quest to achieve gender equality in line with SDG5 target of 2030. We seek to protect women's DIGNITY by taking ACTION,standing up for their RIGHTS and EMPOWERING them.
