IDF has a proven track record in the conceptualization of long lasting community strategies and strengthening of existing facilities that help those who need it the most. IDF also pioneers quality reforms that not only enthuse and inspire, but also sensitize society to important issues that are faced by young women and girls. A special focus remains on females and ensuring that they are enrolled in formal education, included in the society and not adversely impacted by gender discrimination.
Girls in developing countries face a lot of discrimination and are often discouraged from pursuing formal education for various reasons such as early marriage, lack of awareness, oppression, and domestic gender based violence. At IDF, we are working our way through to dismantle the belief that a girl is a liability. . IDF believes that an educated and confident woman is capable of changing the belief system of the entire community.When girls are educated they are more aware of the society and their rights, which gives them the confidence to stand up for themselves. We also give them vocational training which gives them the necessary skills to be independent.
