Recently, Australian Consulate General in Mumbai in collaboration with Red Dot Foundation hosted a transformative legal clinic for 32 women from Pana Wellbeing and Vidya Vardhini Foundation.
The session, organised under Australia Direct Aid Program, led by advocate Chandni KC, aimed to equip participants with resources and knowledge to address domestic violence issues.
Highlighting the partnership, Paul Murphy, Australia’s Consul General in Mumbai, posted on X:
“Through capacity-building, women gain knowledge & skills to tackle sexual & gender-based violence. Together, we’re working towards safer, more resilient communities!”
Red Dot Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to gender equity and safety, spearheads initiatives like Safecity, a platform that anonymously collects personal stories of sexual and gender-based violence. By leveraging data-driven insights, the foundation fosters local solutions and systemic change, engaging families, law enforcement, and community leaders in the fight against violence.
This recent session underscores Red Dot Foundation’s mission to create safer spaces and empower women with the tools to challenge systemic injustices, paving the way for safer and more resilient communities.
At Red Dot Foundation, we were excited to be part of the campaign - 16 Days of Activism to end gender based violencewhich ran from November 25th to December 10th. It is a global call to action aimed at raising awareness about gender equality and ending gender-based violence and we invited individuals to join us in creating meaningful change.
Throughout these 16 days, we hosted a series of workshops, community events, and awareness campaigns that spark important conversations, share knowledge, and inspire collective action.
Words have the power to challenge injustice, heal wounds, and inspire change. Through poetry, haikus, and other written forms, we invited people to share their reflections on themes of safety, resilience, and advocacy. This was a chance to join a collective effort to reimagine safer, more inclusive spaces.
