Gender Justice and Empowerment
At Dalit Vikas Abhiyan Samiti (DVAS), we believe that gender justice is not just a right—it's a necessity. Women, adolescents, and the LGBTQ+ community often face discrimination, social stigma, and denial of dignity. DVAS stands with them, working to build a society rooted in equality, freedom, and respect.
Challenging Inequality, Empowering Voices
Social inequality, economic exclusion, and lack of awareness continue to impact millions. DVAS addresses these challenges by:
- Developing leadership among women & LGBTQ+ individuals
- Providing legal support via helplines
- Organizing legal awareness programs
- Offering counseling for survivors of violence
Ending Gender-Based Violence
Gender-based violence takes many forms—physical, mental, and emotional. DVAS provides:
- Legal assistance and counseling
- Safe spaces & peer support groups
- Policy advocacy & protection laws
Our goal is a world where women and LGBTQ+ individuals live free from fear and with full dignity.
Promoting Sexual Rights
DVAS is committed to protecting children and adolescents from sexual exploitation and violence by:
- Addressing child trafficking & forced prostitution
- Preventing child marriage & female foeticide
- Promoting safe learning environments
Education for Empowerment
We believe education is the foundation of equality. Yet, many girls and women are denied access due to poverty or social barriers. DVAS works to:
- Promote girls' enrollment and retention in schools
- Provide scholarships and capacity-building support
- Ensure inclusive, safe learning environments
- Address early marriage and gender bias
Our Impact
- Strengthening rehabilitation and support systems
- Promoting financial independence through training
- Building a society that celebrates equality and constitutional values
DVAS works closely with civil society groups, government bodies, and the judiciary to ensure justice and equality for all.
