National Consultation Gender and SDGS

Abstract

A series of consultations were planned with CSOs working with: children, adolescents and youth, women, elderly women, dalits, adivasis, nomadic tribes/ denotified nomadic tribes, bonded labour and victims of human trafficking, LGBTQIA+ groups, farmers, migrants, urban poor, people with disabilities, people living with HIV, religious minorities, refugees and people from North-East India. This was followed up with a consultation organised by Wada Na Todo Abhiyan (WNTA) in December 2019, and anchor organisations were identified to co-convene regional and national consultations on specific themes and vulnerable groups. Anchor organisations were selected on various criteria – location, knowledge, expertise and depth of experience with identified select communities.
