Legal firm reaches out to girls in distress

The month-long social media campaign, iAdvocate, encouraged people to participate by voicing out any cause that is close to their heart and inviting two friends to do the same on their social media handles and zeroed on women empowerment.

In line with this, Vakilsearch, joined with Women of Worth (WOW), Chennai, donated day-to-day plus infrastructural essentials to girl children under their care.

Women of Worth (WOW) passionately cater to these girl children from troubled backgrounds through their program. Through which, they empower, rehabilitate and give them a new lease of life.

Speaking about this initiative,Hrishikesh Datar, CEO, Vakilsearch, said, “ We as individuals and businesses should be aware of the social issues around us and being in the legal sector we find it imperative to address issues faced by different sections of the society. Through this campaign, we believe that the topic which is of highest priority in the society is given its due attention. This is just the beginning of bigger campaigns that we will lineup in future.”

Kavitha Emmanuel, founder-director of Women of Worth, said, “There is no denying that women’s empowerment begins with their safety. Women of Worth has been doing our bit to raise the bar on women’s safety since the launch of our ‘Girl Arise’ campaign in 2014 through workshops and awareness campaigns against female foeticide, child sexual abuse, human trafficking, sexual harassment and more. We welcome this partnership with Vakilsearch to scale up what has been initiated. We look forward to working withVakilsearch under iAdvocate initiative.”
