We are a non-profit, non-governmental, non-political organization established in the year 2000 with the aim of promoting legal rights and awareness among the members of the indigenous/ethnic community. We see women as a diverse group in terms of culture, language, way of living, status, position, literacy, access to resources, and access to decision making, access to services etc. We classify women in these terms and orchestrate our work to meet the needs of each category of women. We mainstream gender equality in our work and also work for marginalized communities of our nation.
To create an egalitarian and prospective society where there is no domination and discrimination based on race, caste, ethnicity, language, religion, culture, gender, class and region.
To create a condition where indigenous women are recognized; and language as well as culture of indigenous peoples are respected.
