Recently, Australian Consulate General in Mumbai in collaboration with Red Dot Foundation hosted a transformative legal clinic for 32 women from Pana Wellbeing and Vidya Vardhini Foundation.

The session, organised under Australia Direct Aid Program, led by advocate Chandni KC, aimed to equip participants with resources and knowledge to address domestic violence issues.

Highlighting the partnership, Paul Murphy, Australia’s Consul General in Mumbai, posted on X:

Through capacity-building, women gain knowledge & skills to tackle sexual & gender-based violence. Together, we’re working towards safer, more resilient communities!”

Red Dot Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to gender equity and safety, spearheads initiatives like Safecity, a platform that anonymously collects personal stories of sexual and gender-based violence. By leveraging data-driven insights, the foundation fosters local solutions and systemic change, engaging families, law enforcement, and community leaders in the fight against violence.

This recent session underscores Red Dot Foundation’s mission to create safer spaces and empower women with the tools to challenge systemic injustices, paving the way for safer and more resilient communities.
