Anweshi is a women’s organization primarily committed to the cause of women’s rights. We have shown utmost commitment in delivering a comprehensive range of support services for women which has given a fairly good understanding of many precipitating and underlying factors of domestic violence. Anweshi is an organization which considers gender violence as a societal evil to be taken out from its grassroots in order to have a gender just and a violence free society. Our constitution directs that women shall not only have equal rights and privileges, but also directs that the state shall make provisions — both general and specials — for the welfare of women. However, women in India who constitute nearly half the population are still subjected to various disadvantages and inequalities in the male-dominated society. We believe that women have equal rights and hence our efforts are important for their emancipation, integration, participation, and development. |
