India

India is the second most populous country in the world, after China. Despite its strong economic growth, many people still live in poverty. Social inequalities shape everyday life, particularly affecting women and disadvantaged population groups. Climate change exacerbates existing problems through droughts, floods and crop failures.

Together with local partner organizations, AWO International supports disadvantaged population groups, with a particular focus on women and girls. We are committed to protecting people from human trafficking and gender-based violence and to empowering those affected. In addition, we promote sustainable livelihoods, for example through climate-resilient agriculture, improved water supply, and new income opportunities.
