Championing Women's Empowerment and Girl Child Protection
The Bhagirath Seva Sansthan recognizes that gender equality and women’s empowerment are essential pillars of a progressive and thriving society. The organization is deeply committed to promoting these values through a wide range of impactful initiatives.
Addressing Gender-Based Violence
Breaking the Silence: The Sansthan acknowledges the harsh realities of gender-based violence, including sexual and physical abuse, dowry harassment, and female infanticide. They understand that social stigma and lack of awareness often prevent women from reporting these crimes.
Promoting Empowerment and Rights: The Sansthan believes education and empowerment are vital for enabling women to claim their rights and live with dignity. They advocate for improved access to justice and legal support for victims of violence.
"Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao" (Save the Girl, Educate the Girl) Campaign
Championing Girls’ Education: In alignment with the government’s "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao" campaign, the Sansthan actively promotes girls’ education. They offer special scholarships and reduced fees to encourage higher enrollment in their schools.
Safety and Respect Awareness Programs: Beyond academics, the Sansthan organizes awareness programs emphasizing the safety, dignity, and respect girls deserve. These initiatives aim to transform societal attitudes and foster a supportive environment for girls and young women.
Women’s Empowerment and Self-Reliance
Self-Help Groups: The Sansthan empowers women through self-help groups, offering them a platform to share experiences, access financial resources, and build community solidarity.
Vocational Training and Employment Opportunities: Women are equipped with practical and marketable skills through structured vocational training programs. The Sansthan further supports them in finding employment, promoting financial independence.
Computer Training for Career Advancement: To enhance digital literacy, the Sansthan offers free computer training programs culminating in the DOEACC “O” Level Certificate. This recognized qualification improves women’s employability in computer operations and data entry roles.
Additional Initiatives Supporting Women
Sanitation and Hygiene Facilities: The Sansthan emphasizes the importance of proper sanitation and hygiene in girls’ schools and works to ensure these facilities are accessible and well-maintained.
Education Infrastructure and Scholarships: Beyond their own institutions, the Sansthan advocates for the establishment of more schools and colleges dedicated to girls’ education. They also provide scholarships to support deserving students.
Healthcare and Sanitation Awareness: The Sansthan organizes healthcare camps and sanitation awareness drives, contributing to the overall well-being and empowerment of women and girls.
The Bhagirath Seva Sansthan’s comprehensive approach to women’s empowerment and girl child protection reflects its strong commitment to building a more just and equitable society. By addressing the root causes of gender inequality, promoting education, enhancing skills, and safeguarding the rights of girls and women, the Sansthan empowers them to become confident agents of change within their families and communities.
