ABOUT US

Fatepur Parshi Club was registered in 1982 by a group of youth with a steadfast commitment to creating a society free from gender-based violence and discrimination. We are committed to a society based on equity, peace and justice. Fatepur Parshi Club aims to find and enable alternatives to existing social structures that are marked by discrimination, violence and unequal opportunities for women and girls. We believe in accomplishing this by using a democratic system already in place instead of investing in new parallel systems. FPC strongly believe in working with youth and creating a new generation of agents of change. FPC has therefore dedicated itself to articulating the needs and aspirations of youth with integrity, accountability and perseverance.

OUR VISION


To create a violence-free society based on equity, peace and justice, where all people enjoy
● Physical and mental freedom for all
● Freedom from gender violence
● Equal opportunity
● Freedom from discrimination

OUR MISSION

To empower youth to end gender-based violence and discrimination through creating alternative and creative ways for them to voice their opinions, integrating them into the process of social development and creating a future which is just and equal for all.

OUR STRATEGY

Youth are our future leaders. FPC firmly believes that by changing the attitude of youth to gender equality – helping to inculcate a sense of justice, equality and independent thought – we can create a better society for the next generations. Therefore, one of FPC’s key strategies is to work with youth by sensitizing them to gender issues. Through them, we create awareness in the community, sensitize others to the discrimination faced by women, help the survivors of violence and advocate for policy changes from the village to the state level.

OUR APPROACH

FPC aims to target the issues of gender discrimination and violence in a holistic way, including by:
● Conducting public awareness campaigns led by youth volunteers, change makers and community partners.
● Conducting discussion forums at the local level to build community
awareness and capacity around preventing gender discrimination.
● Advocating to local governments and community leaders on the issue
society face.
● Motivating community members to address gender-based issues through various networks, support groups, and links with the government and other institutions.
● Raising awareness in local media and increasing coverage of issues
around violence against women
● Sensitizing men to the experiences and issues women face
● Holistically empowering survivors of violence, providing women with
access to legal services, counselling, and regular follow-up
● Developing and encouraging self-respect and self-worth in women and
young girls to assist women in recognizing their inherent value
and strength.
