Empowering Communities

Deep rooted social structures around caste and gender and perceived low values of girls, practices and culture around them make women and girls particularly as victims of violence. Women participation in decision making both at family and community level is not up the mark.

Persons with disabilities are often excluded from many aspects of life. Their access to public services such as education, healthcare, rehabilitation, and livelihood opportunities is limited. Many of them do not participate in social events and are not involved in decision-making processes at the family or community level. Family members, community members, and decision-makers often lack a deep understanding of the issues and rights of persons with disabilities from the right perspective. Efforts are needed to improve their situation.

To address the root causes of nutritional deficiencies, parenting, low learning outcomes, all forms of violence against Women, Children, our program is designed in such a way to build an enabling environment through active stakeholders’ engagements that promotes Child friendly families, villages and institutions. The project envisages children as right holders and can claim their rights and duty bearers are accountable to ensure that the children have non-discriminatory access to quality services and their concerns are redressed.

Relationship between parents and teachers, child friendly environment is lacking in schools. These are the main reasons for poor enrolment, retention and continuation of education in the government schools. This leads to children dropping out of schools and push towards child labour, child/ forced marriage, and unemployment issues.

IRCDS engage in the following interventions towards this:
