About SWATI
For 30 years, SWATI has stood alongside women and girls in rural Gujarat, enabling them to move freely, speak collectively, and influence the institutions that shape their lives. What began in 1995 as community mobilisation has grown into systemic transformation—where everyday concerns around safety, mobility, and dignity enter governance, health systems, and public life.
Making Gender Equality a Lived Reality
SWATI works with rural women and girls to challenge gender inequality, violence and exclusion, and to build the collective power to shape their lives and communities
Our Vision
A gender-just society where women and girls live with dignity, equality and freedom from violence
Our Mission
To work alongside rural women and girls to challenge gender-based violence and inequality, strengthen collective agency, and make the institutions that shape their lives more responsive to their rights
