Introduction: Leading the Charge for Gender Parity
At the forefront of the Gender and Development (GAD) process, Sukarya is unwavering in its commitment to building a society that prizes participation, empowerment, equity, sustainability, and human rights. Our mission revolves around empowering individuals, particularly young girls, fostering self-determination, and nurturing the potential in every individual.
The Journey to Gender Equity
Our comprehensive approach to gender equity includes centralizing gender in development, deciphering social norms, embracing GAD, linking welfare and economy, and showcasing the transformative power of empowerment. We celebrate our program’s achievements in promoting gender equality and address the global concern for gender equality.
India’s Gender Gap: A Pressing Concern
India’s ranking of 127 out of 146 countries in the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2023 serves as a stark reminder of the challenges ahead. This ranking, reflecting significant gender disparities, emphasizes the critical need for concerted efforts like those of Sukarya.
Eradicating Discrimination and Combating Child Marriage: A Dual Focus
Our unwavering commitment at Sukarya is twofold: to eradicate gender-based discrimination and to combat the global issue of child marriage. We focus on abolishing practices like child marriage and early motherhood, recognizing that these are significant barriers impeding the development and growth of young women. Child marriage, in particular, poses severe health risks and economic implications. Notably, India is home to one in three of the world’s child brides. By prioritizing action against this practice in India, we are dedicated to safeguarding and empowering young girls, ensuring they have the opportunities and support needed to thrive and contribute to society.
