Young Women’s IDEA aims to empower and educate young women to gain the skills and knowledge that will allow them to make informed and educated decisions, as well as providing them with greater tools and resources to overcome obstacles in their life. Through various grassroots level projects in rural India, Young Women’s IDEA works with women not as victims of poverty but through enabling and facilitating them to challenge and change the contexts in which they live. Greater awareness, educational attainment and economic participation are our key constituents in facilitating the empowerment of the women we work with. Through a combination of education, advocacy and rights based programs; Young Women’s IDEA facilitates young women’s ability to self-empower, lead and demand social change.
