OUR MAIN PROGRAMS
Garima Abhiyan
Under the Garima Abhiyan, YVM is working to annihilate the caste-based occupation like manual scavenger’s women who are engaged in removing human excreta from dry latrines. These women are living in acute poverty and facing burnt of untouchability and discrimination. We encourage these women to abandon this inhuman practice and end their slavery through community meetings, PRI meetings, and rallies. We have liberated around 700 women from manual scavenging practice and organized them in women’s collectives. Women collectives are strengthened and further provided information on legal entitlements and rehabilitation schemes.
