About Us
PARICHITI
Currently we are working with 20 Samadhan Dal (women domestic workers collectives) which has 450 women as members and we have reached out to another 2000 through our different activities and campaigns.
We started with twenty senior women, who are all above 60 years of age when Kolkata Initiatives started in May of 2017, and currently we have 150 seniors who visit our centres.
Parichiti has involved men from 20 different areas in Kolkata and South 24 Parganas to fight for gender justice. In 2016 Parichiti took the initiative to bring together organizations working with men for gender equality. This network was subsequently named Formun to Engage Men- West Bengal (FEM-WB). This network has 15 member organizations and has expanded to 9 districts of West Bengal. Through the 'Ek Saath' camapign we have build 500 Samatar Saathis (Community Volunteers) under this network. And we have been able to reach 800 men till now.
