Social Justice and Gender Sensitization

This program works in close interactions and integration with other program components of CORD for the victim’s socio-economic rehabilitation at various levels. Encouraged by CORD’s experiences and successful interventions, Social Justice and Empowerment Department of the Government of Himachal Pradesh has selected CORD as a ‘Service Provider’ organization in Himachal Pradesh. CORD has been able to help resolve various cases through its participatory approach with community groups and different stakeholders such as the police, lawyers, human rights law network etc. These cases registered with CORD vary from environmental issues to right to information to domestic violence to rape and murder. CORD works actively through its CBOs to decrease discrimination due to gender, caste, creed and class.
