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
