"Take action to Orange your day"
Violence against women and girls is everyone's problem. It brings down an entire society. We are ALL touched by femicide in India. Census data shows that poverty and illiteracy are not key factors in India’s female genocide as many assume. The survival of girls is determined by a patriarchal politics of wealth control.
Save the Girl, Educate the Girl.

Manual scavenging: It’s illegal, it’s demeaning and it’s fatal. And yet, it happens. Non-existent for govt, yet people die 30-ft under ground.
Despite existing laws and policies, the lack of sensitisation among local authorities and the government on the prohibition of manual scavenging remains the main reason behind people being forced to engage in the hazardous cleaning of septic and sewer tanks, highlights a report on manual scavenger deaths — Justice Denied. The report, released by NGO Rashtriya Garima Abhiyan, on 4 October 2018 has covered case studies from 11 states. The study identified 140 incidents and over 302 deaths from 1992 to 2018. Of the 140 incidents, the study covered 51 incidents in which 97 deaths were documented. There is an immediate need to intensify awareness campaigns for the public, urban bodies, contractors and households where manual cleaning of septic and sewer tanks is carried out, especially since cleaners do not have access to any kind of protective gear or safety equipment, to stop this practice,said the report.

Inspired Women are Empowered Women
The goal of gender equality has been at the centre of the economic and political agenda during the two decades since the adoption of the 1995 Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. In September 2015, world leaders adopted the 17 new global Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets. Goal 5 focuses specifically on gender equality and the empowerment of women. Financial independence is key to women empowerment.
