Shakti Abhiyan
Shakti Abhiyan is a movement 'by women for women' to ‘Educate, Organize, Agitate’ for equal rights and ownership (Haq & Hissedari) inspired by the principle of Aadhi Abadi, Pura Haq.
At Shakti Abhiyan, we aim to create a pipeline of grassroots women political leaders by building women-centric politics around the idea of Haq & Hissedari. Women-centric politics is a pathway to equal rights and ownership. This approach will create equal space for women’s ‘interests’ in politics and decision-making, through the representation of women by women’ at all levels of governance - local bodies, Legislative assembly, and parliament.
