On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, Delhi chapter of Apne aap women worldwide on 8th march took out a mass rally in Dharampura and PremNagar. The participants were the girls of the Perna, Sapera and Singhi community in Dharampura and of Perna community in PremNagar. The girls participated in the rally in full swing and shouted slogans like “Dahej pratha ki hahakaar, bandd karo yeh atyachaar”, “Agyanta ki diwaar todo, ladkiyon ko padao”, “ladkiyon se hi toh sansaar hai, ladkiyan na ho toh sab bekaar hai toh Kyun hota hai ladkiyon ke saath atyachaar” etc. at the top of their voice.
Also, previous couple of days were dedicated to the workshop which was meant to make preparation for the event on 8th march and where the girls were seen creating the slogans for the rally, writing it on the chart papers and making placards all by themselves.
The rally attract a lot of attention of the general masses also as it started from the centre at Roshanpura and went all the route till the community in dharampura and returning back to the centre. Same was in the case of Premnagar where the rally was taken out in the community.
Post rally there was a discussion on the general issues people of the community have in Dharampura as many of them were not enrolled in any group of apneaap and most of them also wanted to learn applique and IGP activities running in the centre. Also, in PremNagar the discussion was held on the dropped out kids in the community so as to work on the learning component of ApneAapn in the community.

Dear Donor,
Greetings from Women’s Literacy and Empowerment Programme!
We describe here the outline of our Women Literacy Centers and Empowerment Programme. Our project ‘Empowering Women for a Better Tomorrow’ has a vigorous and vibrant strategy towards educating the penurious illiterate adult women of the society. We educate women through Mahila Shiksha Kendra (MSK), where her abode becomes the teaching place. Various rallies are organized in the community regarding awareness about health, safety, and hygiene. This programme focuses on educating women as the positive effects percolate to her family, community, society and the whole nation. At the end of the day, this is what we want and this is what we work for.
“Priyanka” never got the opportunity to go to a school as she got married at 17 years of age. After getting married, she got busy with other things and never understood the importance of education. Later in life, Priyanka realized the need of getting educated as she couldn’t help her kids in studying.
Rajan, our coordinator enquired that Priyanka is willing to read and write Hindi. Rajan explained her importance of education and also about being independent in life. Priyanka was convinced and didn’t want to leave this opportunity. She readily said yes. After getting educated, she is able to help her kids with studies, keep a track of house budget; vendors no more befool her for money. Also, she has opened her own parlour and is an independent woman now.
We are really grateful to share with you that this year our number of Women Literacy Centers has increased from 452 to 646 centers. The increase in the number of centers is due to the collaboration with Tata Consultancy Services.
