Advocacy

Bhoomika’s Model of transformation envisages a society free from all forms of violence/suppression. To achieve this objective and bring the true change at grassroots level, all stakeholders need to be sensitized and calibrated for sustainable outcome. The advocacy by Bhoomika Vihar for transformation has three pillars to reach all vulnerabilities and to become Voice of Unheards.

• At Grassroots level: Girl’s Led Approach
• At Social Level: Community Driven Methodology
• At peripheral level: Stakeholders Involvement

Girl Led Approach

Community Driven Methodology

The projects are designed by regular interaction with Community Representatives at ground level. Then the nature of intervention and the list of probable beneficiaries are assessed and visited. There are continuous monitoring and follow-ups by the local government in close coordination with Bhoomika Representatives for desired outcomes. Mukhia, Sarpanch, Ward Members etc. are always a part for hassle free intervention and maximizing reach in remote areas with out any fear of security. They pave the path for easy and smooth communication with marginalized section of society and help in mobilizing raising their voice for rights.

Stakeholder Advocacy

Stakeholder participation not only enhanced ownership to child protection issues but also ensures increased sustainability. Likewise, convergence and coordination with different platforms, people and stakeholders helps in doing advocacy for girl child rights and protection issue. Regular interaction and meetings with different level stakeholders helps in mobilizing the policy level attention to the issues.
