Our most relevant capacity building project was the Dalit Women’s Livelihoods Accountability Initiative (DWLAI) - a two-year project implemented in Uttar Pradesh, in collaboration with four grassroots NGOs, and with a catalytic grant from the UN Women’s Fund for Gender Equality (FGE). The project goals were to increase access to livelihood opportunities for Dalit and marginalised rural women, enhance awareness of their rights, amplify their voices, and build their skills to enable them to take on greater leadership responsibilities in the context of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA). Gender at Work successfully employed the Gender Action Learning (GAL) process to help develop stronger programmes to address the issues relevant to Dalit women. Change strategies included leadership and skill-building of participants (technical, supervisory skills), advocacy at the grassroots and national level through conferences, as well as increasing women’s representation in local labour unions. Four pilot projects were implemented to challenge discriminatory norms and practices at workplaces.
