Organization Overview:
SWATI was set up with the aim to support the socio-economic empowerment of women in Surendranagar (erstwhile Patdi) and eventually started focusing on violence against women (VAW) as a public health concern which acts as one of the biggest barriers to women’s development. The organization works with girls and women (>14 years) , and young men (14-25 years) from Scheduled Tribe, Dalit, Minority and Other Backward Classes communities.
