Safeguarding and amplifying the voices of young women is crucial. Metropolis Foundation raises awareness about violence against women, and educates adolescent girls in schools and urban and rural communities about their rights and dangers in both the physical and digital space. The ‘Empowerment Self-Defence’ program imparts knowledge and skills for situational self-defence, and teaches girls techniques to protect themselves without the use of a weapon. The program has made the girls confident, self-reliant and fearless individuals, ready to take on new challenges in life.
