Our Mission
Fellowship believes in a just and equitable society – a society free from violence, without discrimination based on gender, religion, caste, creed and color. We strive hard to establish the rights of women and other marginalized groups like Transgender community, Sex Workers, Persons Living with HIV and Children by empowering them to take control of their lives, working in a collective manner with other group, initiating and conducting Campaign to end violence against them.
Our Vision
We dream of a society free from violence, without discrimination based on gender, religion, caste, sexuality, nationality and physical disability.
Our Strategy
In Odisha, where billion of people live in poverty and illiteracy is rampant, women and members of the excluded community face greater risks. Improving their socio-economic condition requires strong and systematic commitment and favorable govt. policies. Fellowship’s basic strategy stems from the fact that ‘Once the poor and marginalized increased their economic condition and assets, they used these new earnings to improve the education and health status of their families’.
