About
Executive Director Equity Foundation was initiated during March 2003, by a group of women Activists. All of them had been working either with academic institutions or with different NGOs. They realized that in India only 2% of the NGOs are run by women, most of the women’s development programs are designed and implemented by women. So they felt a need for more women’s organizations and initiated Equity Foundation. At present we are working in Bihar. The Equity Foundation grows out of a critical awareness of the central role of Women in the national and sub national development processes for building a just, equitable, and a prosperous modern society. It was formed to search new pathways for overcoming the obstacles to Women/ Child development through a synergy of “Knowledge”, “Voice” and “Action”. Equity Foundation aims at providing technical assistance to innovative programmes and strategies for women’s human rights, political participation and economic security. As a learning and knowledge – based organization, the Foundation integrates its activities in a feedback process of pioneering, learning, information sharing and advocacy and facilitates active dissemination of information regarding women, youth and child issues through seminars and workshops
