Sakhi Saheli is another community organisation which is run by women for women. Their aim is to increase resilience, autonomy and strength in the women of our community by focusing on their health, education, legal and social wellbeing. It is run by two passionate young girls, Nidhi Yogi and Isha Bali. These young girls are leaders within our community, challenging the status quo and at the forefront of movements for change, despite the barriers and gender stereotypes that try to hold them back. Victoria is proud to be leading the nation on gender equality. We promote women and are committed to lifting up girls like Nidhi and Isha. Girls’ voices must be included in every room where decisions are made, because by investing in girls today, we create a fairer, safer and more equal tomorrow.
