| CHARCA Strategies |
| |
| CHARCA is based on five key strategies interlinked with one another; these pillars form CHARCA’s vision to empower young girls and women with voice and visibility to overcome vulnerabilities and gender disparities. |
| |
|
| |
| Awareness building and social mobilization to counter biological, social, cultural and economic factors that make women more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS than men. |
| |
| Capacity building and skilled development of young women and girls, and also their influencers, to enable young women and girls to recognize their rights and have more control over their sexual relations and lives |
| |
| Improving sevices to make them more women and youth-friendly and building capacity of service providers to meet the demand. |
| |
| Building support structures to negate contributory gender discriminatory situations like poor access to resources and violence within and outside homes faced by Indian women. |
| |
| Creating enabling environment by creating social space for joint action at various levels and sensitizing men and influencer groups to the needs of young women to bring about vulnerability-reducing behaviour changes in society. |
