Film series Parivartan Ke Saath
Chanda Devi
Mahila Samakhya
Adolescent Girl & Women Empowerment
Chanda Devi is one of the 16 sahyoginis working with Jagriti Mahila Samakhya, reaching out and to more than 2700 women and adolescent girls through 160 groups across 48 villages. Parivartan recognises gender inequality in rural communities, where women are forced to adhere to stereotypical norms cleverly designed to curtail their movements. Often seen as weak and pitiable, their demand for freedom and equality is viewed charitably, which grossly undermines their innate potentials and identity. Parivartan aims to build women’s capacity through focus on education, workshops, trainings, constitution of groups and support systems.
