**Description of the project**:
The project of girls’ empowerment will involve working with girls from the deprived sections to negotiate their current marginalized status and develop resilience to work towards their future goals. Vacha’s main aim is to work towards the empowerment of girls disadvantaged by lower caste status, linguistics and religious minorities under the overarching phenomenon of poverty and gender. Girls’ empowerment programme is a three-pronged approach - Imparting Knowledge, Skills and creating opportunities to exercise learnt knowledge and skills. It has components of soft and hard skills and community actions. Skills acquired are used in community actions. Community actions are planned and executed by youth, girls and boys. In the more conservative communities, there are only girls. However, a total of 30% are boys in girls’ leadership programme. We encourage girls’ leadership and their visibility in the community especially in performing tasks like getting more toilets, getting street lights, etc. With participation in these activities, the success in which directly and positively impacts their lifestyles, their status in their communities goes higher and their self-confidence enhances. We encourage their leadership in a mixed group in every activity or decision
- making bodies. It is compulsory to have at least 50% of girls in all leadership events/activities. It also has a gender sensitization programme for boys. We want boys for themselves as they too are from the same deprived communities but the extreme son preference gives them a higher status in the family and in the community.
