BE A WARRIOR
Impacted Trainees
Since 2017
An initiative by women veterans from the Indian Army, Yoddha views the safety of women and children as a fundamental rights issue that requires collective action from all stakeholders, irrespective of gender.
Mission Statement:
To groom women, young adults and children, into confident and independent individuals, empowered to protect themselves and develop to their full potential for manifesting their life goals.
Yoddha
Established in 2017, we have evolved naturally from previous CSA prevention trainings and rehabilitation efforts in the realm of gender-based violence.
Conceived as a training consultancy, Yoddha focuses on the safety of women and children and the prevention of crimes and violence against them. Since its inception, the organization has impacted over 15,500 trainees across all genders.
Yoddha leverages the extensive experience of its trainers, who have served in the Indian Army and in Swakshatra—a Bangalore-based women and child rights organization that aids in the rehabilitation of girl children rescued from sexual violence and human trafficking.
Our Trainings
Yoddha employs a Triple A approach in capacity building, which encompasses Awareness, Attitude, and Abilities. The focus lies in recognizing the innate abilities of women and channeling this understanding towards mental strength and secondary physical preparedness.
Additionally, Yoddha offers Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) trainings for organizations, drawing on its extensive experience with the criminal justice system in gender issues. The organization also conducts Gender Sensitivity and Inclusivity Trainings.
Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) at Workplace
Corporate training for the Internal Compliance Committee (ICC) and all employees, focusing on comprehending POSH from both functional and compliance perspectives.
Assisting organizations in achieving POSH compliance by crafting sexual harassment prevention policies, conducting trainings, preparing reports and returns, and liaising with the government from a legal standpoint.
Personal Safety
A three layered program focused on capacity building through awareness, attitude development, and skill enhancement aimed at promoting personal safety preparedness for adolescents, young adults, and adults of all genders.
The primary emphasis is on addressing gender-based violence, navigating cyberspace, and understanding emerging trends along with their mitigation strategies.
Additionally, the program aims to empower women by enhancing their physical preparedness through confidence-building activities. These activities are inspired by street combat techniques such as Rapid Assault Tactics and are available exclusively through onsite workshops.
