Forums

The main strength of Action India’s work has been the development of grassroots forums. We have created women’s spaces where we feel empowered collectively and individually; where we break class and caste barriers; where we join hands and share our joys and sorrows; where we bond in song and dance; and where we gain control of our lives.

Sabla Sangh
Spaces for women to share and acquire knowledge. A holistic approach to women’s lives, health, and reproductive rights.

Choti Sabla for Adolescent Girls
Forums for adolescent girls to better understand gender and sexuality; friendships; love and relationships. Girls talk about the balance between school and domestic work; early marriage; and their dreams and aspirations. We also provide a scholarship program, allowing students who have dropped out of school to re-enter mainstream education.

Nanhi Sabla for Young Girls
A forum for girls reaching puberty to acquire knowledge of their bodies, and learn about menstruation. Education for girls is emphasized. We frequently discuss discrimination against girls.
