The concept of gender issues in India has come a long way since the country’s independence in 1947. Over the decades, there has been a significant shift in societal attitudes, policies, and initiatives aimed at addressing gender disparities and promoting gender equality.
NGOs like Bal Raksha Bharat (also known as Save the Children) have played a pivotal role in advancing the cause of gender equality in India. They have been instrumental in supporting and amplifying the Government of India’s initiatives, effectively addressing various gender issues through multifaceted initiatives. These programmes, spanning education, healthcare, economic empowerment, protection, and social inclusion, represent a comprehensive approach towards advancing gender equality and creating a more equitable society for all.
