With a vision of ‘just and equitable
society’, FEDO puts Dalit women at the
core of its initiatives, recognizing them as
rights holders equally entitled to live with
dignity. The organization works on two
levels: empowering Dalit communities and
similarly marginalized groups (horizontal)
and advocating duty bearers to take
deliberate action on Dalit women’s issues
(vertical). Centered on a human rights based approach, FEDO’s interventions
focus on five strategic pillars, namely:
Economic empowerment
Human rights and access to Justice
Leadership development and
participation
Inclusive governance and social justice
Gender-responsive humanitarian assistance
