Sangini

Context

Sangini started its journey in the year 2003 with an objective to work on gender equality. Initially, it was not easy to work in a patriarchal society without any prior experience but as wheel of time moved on our experiences taught us a lot. These experiences crystallised the basis for constituting a formal gender resource centre in the state from where people working on different aspects of development could access information, resources and assistance. The organisation aims to provide a platform from where the inequalities brought upon women on the basis of gender can be protested and meaningful intervention can be undertaken to create a society based on justice and equality. In order to so, Centre attempts to enhance the capacities of civil society organisation in mainstreaming gender. Sensitisation of the general masses in the context of gender discrimination is the focal objective of Sangini’s interventions.
