Describe the specific population with whom you will be working.
Everyday, when we open the newspapers there are reports of rigid caste system, illiteracy, female infanticide, violence against women, forced child marriage, and dowry. Women Trafficking etc. Most of these cases go unreported due to victims being too scared to speak out or aren't aware of what to do in such a scenario. The cases are not reported to anyone because of the shame and guilt associated with it This indicates a clear need for a program on awareness where they can get briefing on the points which should to be remembered & give them a platform to make them feel free to discuss about the issues and guide them accordingly.
Project Jagriti is an ongoing program to create a secure, safe and reliable environment for every Girl/Women accross Rajasthan
