Suna’s Daughters team and Girl-Centered Design Support Circle participants were in Mumbai, India, between February 18 and 20 to share experiences with local institutions working for girls.
As part of the program, conducted in collaboration with EMpower Foundation, Suna’s Daughters shared their knowledge and experiences on the collective impact approach, the work of the Girls Advisory Team, and the Girl-Centered Design Model.
During the visit, meetings with the Vacha Charitable Trust team focused on learning about communities' experiences, successful practices, and program models for girls. Information on girls' community initiatives and advocacy campaigns at the Sanjay Nagar Community Center was also gathered.
Vacha is a charitable foundation that focuses on young people living in slums in Mumbai and Thane for a society based on social justice, equality and democracy.
The Girls-Centered Design Support Community continues to work on how spaces, programs and activities can be developed for girls, with girls, based on child safety and child participation. These meetings have again demonstrated how experiences from different geographies can create a common learning space.
