Women’s safety is one of the major issues plaguing our nation today, be it violent victimization through rape, acid throwing, dowry killings, stalking or plain theft. In such a scenario, the importance of self-defence training cannot be overstated.
Project Veerangana aims to provide unemployed women with the skill-set of self-defence training that can be marketed, and promote financial independence and an improved standard of living among them. During the course of this project, we will see a community of originally unemployed, dependent women emerge as independent business owners and trainers, using their recently developed skill-set to not just improve their own standards of living, but also make the lives of thousands of others safer, all through the power of social entrepreneurship.
Project Veerangana has been the recipient of the KPMG Ethics Grant 2016.
