Our Journey

You are here:
Throughout our journey, CHSJ has made significant contributions to improving the health and socio-economic status of marginalized communities, particularly women, across several states in India. We have positively impacted the lives of 339,162 families in 1,040 villages across 7 states. Our community-based approaches have successfully enhanced women’s access to health entitlements and increased men’s involvement in promoting women’s safety and empowerment.
Through evidence-based engagement with public functionaries and authorities at the local, state, and national levels, we have improved the implementation of public programs and the delivery of entitlements in 1,200 villages, 100 districts, and 9 states. Our collaborative efforts with practitioner networks, such as the Ek Saath Campaign, have enabled us to engage men and boys for gender equality in 7 states. We have also partnered with 15 networks, 200 NGO partners, and 9 states to address issues of discrimination against women and girls.
