Gender
The endeavour at Janani Dham is to address the root cause of gender inequality and work towards empowering of women and girls.
In 2015-16, Janani Dham sensitised and oriented communities on gender, through community level service providers, and other available platforms in the community. Project specific gender transformative change related milestones and appropriate tools for implementation were integrated into the detailed implementation plans of each project, and further monitored and evaluated based on gender specific indicators.
Janani Dham generated a flagship document, ‘The Gender Transformative Change Approach’, to facilitate a comprehensive and common understanding around gender. Janani Dham also generated a detailed list of Gender Transformative Change (GTC) indicators to measure the gender transformative change, based on the Strategic Impact Inquiry (SII) Framework of Women’s Empowerment. These indicators are available in the domains of health, livelihoods, and education and adapted to measure the progress of gender transformation in the projects.
