Help Us to support all Adolescent Girls & Women who need your help.
Let's Support them by Donating.

 

She Speaks

She Speaks is a flagship project of the Aambra Foundation. It was conceptualized to give a voice to issues relating to women and celebrate their strength and success. We invite accomplished and inspiring men and women from different walks of life to share their stories of success, struggle and challenges and present case studies.

Across centuries in India, a woman has been the fulcrum of her family. However, her voice was stifled due to socio-economic, politico-religious and other factors. She Speaks endeavours to give a voice to the inspiring and aspiring women.

SheSpeaks is pleased to announce that a helpline project has been initiated with the aim of providing support services to adolescent girls and women facing mental distress. Our helpline services are also designed to cater to the specific needs of women with special needs and older women, in order to further encourage and facilitate inclusivity of women from all aspects of life to voice their concerns.

On 15th August, 2020

SEMINARS


Through our seminars, we ensure that their voice is heard through a broad spectrum of society. We encourage and facilitate a dialogue between the panelists, participants and the audience. We have been actively engaged in helping women gain employment through various workshops. Women living in slums and victims of abuse attend and benefit from what they learn.




STRATEGIES


Panelists are drawn from the government, media, art & culture, NPOs, politics, corporate, policy makers, civil society, banking, writers, authors and journalists. An attempt is made to present a unique case study in every edition. Not only is the case study analyzed but also the solutions to the problems are deliberated and discussed. Eminent policy makers on board plan the road ahead for redressal and eradication of the problem. Realising the need for a balance between the works of fiction and non-fiction, we created ‘Writers Nook’ - a platform for established and debut authors from around the globe to share, read, review and launch their works.

 

SOLUTIONS


Most of our daily lives are fraught with challenges of different kinds. However, there is one challenge faced by women alone at some stage of their lives – the problem of gender disparity! We at Aambra Foundation believe in helping women face these problems. We aid in bringing their concerns to the public eye, discussing them and reaching reliable resolutions. Writers Nook builds a bridge for books that cannot be classified as complete fact or fiction.

FUTURE PLANS


Working towards a society free from abuse, we plan to map and document the findings of our research, dialogues and discussions to present a white paper to the Ministry of Women & Child Development. On March 8, 2021, She Speaks would complete five incredible years since its inception. Gender sensitization, policy, advocacy and empowerment will continue to be our principal goals. With the launch of our SheSpeaks Shashakta Wellness Project, we hope to create more awareness for women’s mental health and make support more accessible.

PROJECTS OF AAMBRA FOUNDATION

Marching ahead with our commitment to address contemporary issues of social relevance the Foundation launched projects:


OUR AIM

She Speaks is our dialogue with everyone, men and women both. One of the biggest challenges that half of the world population or women face is – Gender disparity. We at AAMBRA Foundation believe that healthy discussions surrounding the various forms of abuse will help sensitise communities. We create and facilitate a dialogue not only amongst various stake holders of women empowerment but also amongst various communities. We are building this dialogue with student community through our campaigns and contests. Student Zone – #Have Your Say contest with Cash Award incentivisation. And our gender quiz during every She Speaks where correct answers win prizes.

OUR VISION

SheSpeaks is a platform for women that has been created under the aegis of the Aambra Foundation. Aambra Foundation is a government registered non-profit organisation that works towards women empowerment and development. Apart from SheSpeaks, Aarohan and Aambrotsave are two other important projects that are carried out by the foundation. SheSpeaks aims to facilitate the building of a better nation and world for the women. It works towards the upliftment of women from all strata of society, identifying ways of empowering them, highlighting their struggles, co-working towards their resolution, celebrating their success stories and giving them a pedestal to showcase their achievements.
