Despite their enormous contributions to family, community and society, many women in rural India continue to live as secondary citizens, facing severe discrimination and deprivation in all domains.
ASSIST believes that community development is incomplete without the inclusion of women’s voices and participation. We encourage women to organise themselves in People’s Organisations like Self-Help Groups and build confidence to raise their voices and fight for their rights. We increase their skills, capacities and knowledge in order to improve their position and increase their prominent participation in activities at all levels.
