For more than two decades, State Progressive Women's forum have been engaging in the education of marginalized women along with socio-economic empowerment. Subsequently, it has also been working towards the reproductive health rights of these women.
Coming from an indigenous marginalized community, I witnessed how people were discriminated against on the basis of their social stratification...
There was a time when I was mocked and heavily criticised for raising my voice on the importance of girls and women in education...
Moving ahead, we realized that there was a strong need for women to be economically empowered...
Within two decades, we saw a remarkable change where many deprived women, Kamlaharies started running their own businesses...
It gives me a great joy to see the impact that has been created in the lives of these women...
Thank You!
