“I hope that through Maanushi, we will be able to build a climate-resilient, ecologically sensitive, and empowered community that can take action to prevent and mitigate the crises that might arise due to changing land use patterns and climate conditions. In the area of gender, Maanushi hopes to bring women into the forefront of eco-positive activities in their communities by developing ownership and participation. When we normalise and destigmatise menstruation and sexual health, we bring back agency and help to build a community that relies on the spirit of sisterhood and empowerment. With economic empowerment activities, Maanushi hopes to create independence that allows a human being to flourish completely- a primary requisite for positive mental health.”
- LAKSHMY DAS (CO-FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT)
