Disha Project: Helping women reach for success

In Haryana, the gender gap in wages/salaries for directly employed women worker is very stark. For the period 1999-2000 to 2009-10, the daily pay for women was Rs. 231.90, which is 31.7 percent less than what men are paid— Rs. 287.96. Meenu worked in a hazardous factory environment where she earned Rs. 5,000 a month. She would come back home at 7pm and would heat up the leftover food from the morning for dinner. She could not give time to her children, nor could she be sure of their whereabouts while she was gone.

In August 2018, merely three days after attending the start-up training by Humana People to People India (HPPI) under the Disha project, Meenu found the support and motivation from the project staff at HPPI, which she was looking for in her family for all these years.
