Mission
Swadhina's (self-esteemed women) mission is: 'to change the lives of women through the generation of self-reliance and their empowerment through the right to good health, livelihood, information and awareness'.
Swadhina envisions a just, participatory, egalitarian, environmentally sustainable social order, free from violence and discrimination of any kind.
Objectives
Swadhina is a voluntary organisation for women and children. The organisation's objectives include the identification of issues relating to women at the micro and macro levels, awareness building and formation of women’s groups around those issues, the initiation of participatory self-reliance efforts, as well as the handing over of organisational and functional work to people-based groups.
Constituencies
Swadhina's constituencies include women and children belonging to tribal and other backward communities in rural areas.
