Mainstreaming Gender
Organization of women into self-help groups, farmer collectives and unions is the chosen method to address women’s needs, including addressing systemic violence against women. These formations build the capacity of partner NGO’s and community organizations to struggle for rights over resources and to enhance their livelihoods, both through government and NGO programmes. Currently Global Solidarity Fnd. supports women’s struggles to gain land rights, rights over forest resources and to ensure equal rights to women.
Global Solidarity Fnd. promotes women’s networks to campaign against domestic violence, female feticide, and infanticide and child marriages. Women’s networks are active in all the states Global Solidarity Fnd. works in.
Recognizing the emerging trend of national and international trafficking of women, Global Solidarity Fnd. links local action to regional and international countervailing campaigns preventing and to focus on rehabilitation of trafficked women with dignity.

Minority Rights
The rising Hindu fundamentalism internally, and the current anti-Muslim environment globally make all minority groups feel insecure. Global Solidarity Fnd. strives to work with the Muslim and other minority communities to ensure their constitutional rights to equality in every sphere. Global Solidarity Fnd. strategises to overcome their marginalization in the civil society. Global Solidarity Fnd. development initiatives are linked to livelihood enhancement and promotion of the rights of Muslim women through women’s networks.

Human Rights
Global Solidarity Fnd. encourages NGOs to take up cases of rights violation. Global Solidarity Fnd. works closely with NGOs in this, providing legal rights training, advice and information on International Bill of Human Rights, which has enlarged the human rights discourse. These interventions address the grievances of the victims. Overall, communities have been sensitized. The police and state systems realize that rights violations are no longer tolerated, and that they can take recourse to the National Human Rights Commission, the National Commission for Women and the Minorities Commission.

Child Rights
Child survival, protection, development, participation and the provisions of the Convention on Rights of Child are the guiding principles of Global Solidarity Fnd. work. Partners are involved in providing pre-school care, identifying school dropouts and enrolling them, campaigning against child labour and organizing adolescent girls to provide them reproductive rights education. While this programme supports a modest number of children, it is Global Solidarity Fnd. effort to develop models by working with communities to ensure sustainable results and the spread of ideas.
