Campaign & Advocacy
As an active member in the women's movement, with experience in working with marginalized and underprivileged women living in communities, and as a partner of the larger movement for human rights, WRAG engages in the activity of campaign and advocacy on a range of issues on human rights, women's rights and the law.
Objectives of WRAG's campaign and advocacy activities are:
- To promote and integrate a gender perspective into existing and future laws
- To ensure that the reality of women’s experiences reflect in and impact the formulation of laws and policies
- To explore the relevance and application of internationally-recognized human rights norms and standards to Indian law reform initiatives
WRAG’s advocacy work focuses on impacting political processes, formulation and implementation of law and policy through information dissemination, alliance-building, critiquing legal initiatives and Bills, responding to judgments of courts of law, campaigning on violations of rights and engaging in the process of law reform. Through this activity WRAG reaches out to individual marginalized women, works at the policy- level interventions and remains proactive at efforts for justice and accountability concerning women’s rights.
