ActionAid Association strengthened the voices of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) by organizing a district-level meeting in Vyara, Gujarat. 50 leaders from 16 villages reviewed findings from a baseline survey conducted by ActionAid Association across 30 villages and raised critical concerns with local and state authorities. This collective effort led the Gujarat government to initiate a comprehensive survey to inform stronger, evidence-based policies for PVTGs. #ActionAid #PVTG #TribalRights #CommunityLeadership

16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence | Gujarat
As part of the ongoing 16 Days of Activism, ActionAid Association organised a series of awareness and capacity-building activities across Vadodara, Navsari, Dang, and Tapi districts in Gujarat.
In Vadodara (Dabhoi Taluka), sessions with SHG women leaders focused on recognising different forms of violence, legal protections, and pathways to seek support. Participants collectively resolved to take action against alcohol-related violence by submitting complaints to local authorities.
In Navsari, the community team led discussions on the Constitution, tribal culture, and gender-based violence—emphasising women’s rights and the urgent need to address GBV within tribal communities.
Across Dang and Tapi, awareness programmes with single women helped strengthen their understanding of GBV, available support systems, and avenues for justice.
Together, these efforts continue to build safer, more informed, and inclusive spaces for women and girls.
