Raising Intern
Organization:WomenPowerConnect
Location :New Delhi,India
WomenPowerConnect (WPC) is a national level organization of
women’s groups and individuals working
together for formalizing the process of
legislative coordination. WPC was born out of the realization that despite
substantial grassroots efforts, women’s organizations and groups in India lacked
the co-ordination necessary to translate those efforts into legislative and
policy outcomes necessary for true progress. Our activities are aimed at
advocating with legislators and policy makers to frame gender-friendly
policies, which impact women positively.
At present WPC works closely as CARE’s Strategic Advocacy
Partner under the Enhancing Mobile Populations Access to HIV/AIDS Services
Information & Support (EMPHASIS) project. We support the project with
advocacy strategies by providing policy briefings, evidence based advocacy with
key stakeholders, developing methods for assessment of advocacy & alliance
building efforts at source and destinations, networking, aiding collaborations,
providing communication resources. We also have been working with Oxfam India
with the aim to address the deep‐rooted problem of women being denied equal
land rights in India, due to the largely patriarchal and patrilinear structure
of the Indian society. With the support of OXFAM India, WPC is currently
implementing a project ‐ ‘Ensuring women’s access to and control over land’.
Further with support from Ford Foundation, we work on the issue of Child
Marriage particularly in the States of Jharkhand, Bihar
and Madhya Pradesh. The project seeks to generate positive actions in communities
that would trigger significant reduction in the incidences of child marriage,
and enable district and community-monitoring mechanisms at various levels to
sustain these actions.
