Gender Equality is all about giving equal opportunity to women. Thus, it reaches out to adolescent girls living in the slums to educate and empower them through a curriculum-based programme enhancing their abilities to lead and succeed without being undermined in their lives. With a customised curriculum, that addresses adolescent sexual health, menstrual hygiene, nutrition, basic rights, family life skills and gender knowledge, the programme helps them understand gender discrimination and social stigma in the context of their lives. Simultaneously, it instils confidence and leadership skills so they can fight the economic and social inequalities that they face on a near daily basis. This in turn helps them inspire other young girls to break free from the shackles of an unfair system and be the change.
