Empowerment Project

Empowerment Project CSR Club

This club was launched in AY 2015-16 as an offshoot of 10th grade PBL project with the objective to empower children and women with the knowledge, resources, and skills necessary to help rehabilitate victims of sex trafficking into society and to prevent sexual assault of girls.

As it developed in the following months, the focus has expanded from these issues to more broader themes that encompass gender and sexual identity and issues surrounding them.

Club goal(s) for 2016-17:

• We aim to build relationships with young, underprivileged boys and girls in Mumbai with the goal of exploring taboo issues such as health, sexual assault, gender, identity, and equality.
