Our Mission

Our mission is to empower every woman from impoverished backgrounds by equipping them with essential tools and techniques, fostering their self-confidence so they can lead healthy and dignified lives without relying on others.

Our Story

Founded in 2014 by Tamanna Bhati

Hamara Saahas was established to address the pressing issue that women and girls in our society often exist in the shadows of men. They frequently lack access to adequate support, particularly during times of urgent need.

Upon marriage, women typically move into their husband's family home, which can present significant challenges. In many lower and lower-middle-class families in India, instances of physical or psychological abuse from family members are unfortunately common. In some cases, daughters-in-law are treated more like servants than valued family members.

Moreover, when a woman gives birth to a girl for the first time, she may face rejection from her family and experience immense pressure to produce a male child. This societal expectation can lead to severe emotional distress and feelings of inadequacy.

The Challenges We Face

Confronting Injustice Head-On

We focus on supporting women who face societal biases and discrimination. Many of the women we work with have endured severe domestic violence at the hands of their partners. Additionally, young girls often suffer physical and emotional abuse, while widows experience societal torment.

We confront these injustices head-on, addressing issues such as domestic violence, societal apathy, and the negative perceptions surrounding women.

Through our efforts, we aspire to create a supportive environment where these women can reclaim their strength and dignity, ultimately transforming their lives for the better.
