Issue
The population in Uttar Pradesh, especially in the Central and Eastern districts, faces high levels of poverty, underdevelopment, and gender inequality. Kushinagar, Maharajganj, and Gorakhpur stand out as particularly affected areas with low female literacy, migration issues, and inadequate health indicators. Despite recent development efforts, socio-economic conditions, especially for women and girls, remain unchanged, perpetuating gender inequality. Discrimination against Dalit and backward caste communities leads to bonded labour, child labour, child marriage, and gender and caste discrimination in the eastern region. Poverty, unemployment, limited access to healthcare and education worsen their situation. Low female literacy and high school dropout rates, especially among marginalized communities like the Musahars, hinder educational progress. Children, particularly girls are often viewed as additional labour sources, deepening the problem. A gender imbalance with a sex ratio below 950 further exacerbates the situation. It is crucial to address these disparities, promote equal opportunities, and foster holistic development. Comprehensive interventions are required to tackle socio-economic disparities, gender inequality, and educational disadvantages in marginalized communities. This involves improving access to quality education, enhancing female literacy, reducing school dropout rates, and combating early marriages. Efforts also focus on healthcare, nutrition, and socio-economic support to uplift the population and create a more equitable and prosperous future. • Advocacy, analysis, and awareness raising: Representing marginalized voices, conducting research, and raising awareness through media campaigns to address social issues and engage policymakers. • Facilitating communication and collaboration between different sectors and groups to foster cooperation and synergy. • Enhancing stakeholders' skills and capabilities through orientation, workshops, and training programs. • Providing essential humanitarian, development, and social services to meet the needs of the community. • Ensuring performance, accountability, and transparency by monitoring and evaluating programs and initiatives. Primary Stakeholders: Adolescent Girls, Parents, Women, Children and farmers from marginalised community. Secondary Stakeholders: Frontline Service Providers, Panchayati Raj Institutions, CBOs and SHGs, Government Functionaries, Media Personnel and Civil Society Organisations.
