We envision a society free from discrimination, where indigenous women are empowered to realize their human rights, achieve socio-economic transformation, and contribute to building an environmentally sustainable society.
Our mission is to unite Indigenous women in advocating for the recognition and realization of their individual and collective rights, while ensuring their well-being and empowerment at every level.
We empower women by giving them the resources, skills, and support they need to claim their rights and make positive changes in their communities.
We enhance capacity building by offering training and support to help individuals and communities develop the skills they need to thrive.
We work to protect and promote women’s human rights by advocating for equality, justice, and the empowerment of women to fully exercise their rights and freedoms.
We work for climate justice by helping marginalized communities speak up for sustainable solutions and making sure their voices are included in addressing environmental challenges.
We work to preserve Indigenous cultures by supporting the protection of traditional practices, languages, and knowledge, ensuring they are passed down to future generations.
We promote Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) by providing education, resources, and support to ensure women have control over their health and can make informed decisions about their bodies.
We advocate for land rights in Madhupur and other regions by empowering Indigenous communities to protect their ancestral lands and ensuring their rights are recognized and respected.
We support education for Indigenous girls by providing access to learning opportunities. We conduct research to understand the challenges faced by marginalized communities and use this knowledge to develop strategies for creating positive, lasting change.
