Action India

Over forty years, Action India worked to strengthen democratic institutions by enhancing the participation of women as citizens to claim their rights and entitlements, to public health and civic services to better the environment and quality of life of the urban poor.

Community organization is an essential component of Action India’s multi-pronged approach to promote women’s agency engaging with wider forums at the national level, strengthening networks to influence laws and policies to include the poor and marginalized, particularly women and girls.

Action India and Safecity collaborated in October 2015 to address sexual violence in public spaces of Dakshinpuri and Sanjay Camp in New Delhi. The campaign is currently engaging youth groups in the neighborhoods to strengthen their leadership potential to create safer spaces.
