Impact
The Women Support Centre – Maadhyam as an innovation has helped women in distress who have been subjected to Gender Based Violence within the existing institutional space of Government. It is a fact that women who are subjected to violence has no option but to seek intervention of Police for settlement of their issues. Very often such women come to Police Station with grievous injury. As a result of the innovation made by Institute for Social Development women are served within the Police system with a comprehensive package of services to overcome their situation. The innovation has also contributed significantly to reduce litigations in the court of law and paved the way for reconciliation. Awaaz Do is a popular youth campaign in Odisha which has been one of the front line mass mobilization intervention implemented by ISD since 2013 to address gender based violence in Odisha. When it was started we covered only 9 district of Odisha. Right now the campaign spread out 30 district of Odisha. Through this programme ISD took an innovative step to provide a platform where youth from both rural and urban odisha join together and share their views, opinion and experience. The Awaaz Do campaign has gained enormous popularity among college-going youth and their institutions. Initially, ISD approached colleges to send their students for this campaign but now colleges are the ones requesting ISD to involve more youth from their institutions. Every year, more than a thousand students apply for participation but only 300 are selected. So far as today we have mobilised 2400 youth change makers in Odisha.
Vision and Mission
ISD's mission is to change the living conditions of women and bring equality between men and women, promoting individuals' self-respect and dignity in society.
