About Women at Work, Durga’s flagship programme:
At Durga, we believe that we must take responsibility, as an individual, community, bystander, ally and an organization, to create a safe workplace for women, across different areas of work, to participate, thrive and dream of a career, like it rightfully should be. Safety is not just a women’s issue, and it is unfair to put the burden of ensuring one’s safety only on women. Our programme Women at Work is built around Gender Justice in Public Spaces, essentially workspaces. Through our work, women and girls are able to understand patriarchy, separate their rights from responsibilities, understand human rights, address mental health issues, dissect power, and therefore know how to address sexual harassment and violence, and hold their ground.
