MAITRI
NETWORK


The Maitri Network was set up in 2009 to address issues of dalit, adivasi and other vulnerable women who remain excluded from the mainstream women’s movement in India. The discrimination and exclusion suffered by dalit and adivasi women in particular is compounded because of the twin concerns of gender and caste. These women most commonly face verbal abuse, physical and sexual assault, and domestic and caste-based violence.

The Maitri Network, through its member organizations, works to raise awareness about issues related to gender and caste based violence. It works towards empowering women to speak up against injustices committed against them because of their gender and caste, seek justice and to campaign for positive and lasting change. The Network works at the grassroot level in 32 districts in 9 states and engages with men as key stakeholders and partners for lasting change as well as with the local governing bodies and district legal services. Our work has strong grass root level presence and impact.
