Womenite, in collaboration with HCL Foundation's 'My Clean City' program, spearheaded a comprehensive waste management initiative across 20 societies in Noida and Greater Noida (10 in each region). Our efforts focused on sensitizing citizens and fostering sustainable waste practices.

The initiative began with a baseline survey to understand existing waste management behaviors. We then conducted interactive workshops covering crucial aspects like grey water waste, textile waste, and menstrual waste management. To enhance citizen engagement, we innovatively utilized Virtual Reality (VR) experiences, offering immersive learning about proper waste segregation and environmental responsibility. We also performed impactful Nukkad Nataks (street plays) to convey messages creatively and reach a broader audience.

Beyond daily activities, we celebrated key dates to reinforce community involvement. On International Volunteers Day, we recognized and rewarded our dedicated volunteers. On International Women's Day (March 8th), we organized a large event engaging around 1000 women from the communities, celebrating their contributions and honoring the inspiring 'waste warriors' and 'champions' who led by example in adopting sustainable practices. This holistic approach ensured both education and community empowerment in waste management.

Womenite actively works to combat child sexual abuse by emphasizing that raising awareness and disseminating essential information are crucial for effective prevention. To achieve this, Womenite has conducted numerous sessions on child sexual abuse primarily targeting Government MCD schools and other organizations across Delhi NCR.

Specifically, Womenite has conducted vital 'safe/unsafe touch' workshops in 100 MCD schools in close association with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and the Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR). These crucial sessions target children aged 5 to 14 years, equipping them with the knowledge and understanding to identify and report various forms of child sexual abuse, thereby empowering them to protect themselves and fostering a safer environment for vulnerable children in the region.
