As a feminist organization, IRV practice mainstreaming gender in organizational approaches simultaneously in all initiatives, project levels and stages, including formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. IRV perceive gender equality and human rights an intrinsic element of a project’s objectives, activities, deliverables and outcomes, because these two dimensions are crucial for ensuring that everyone benefits equally from the gains of the development process. We believe that it is necessary to ensure bottom up approach and work directly with the disadvantaged community moving us an environmentally and socially just society. Through this process the organization is trying to participate and formulate a holistic, transformational development approach.
It has been taking national and local level initiatives for poor, marginal & small farmers, fisher folk, indigenous and Dalits women, child and forest people. Besides direct field interventions IRV is organizing network with different like-minded individuals, organizations, forums and also providing support for capacity building, developing information network, conducting research, action research, campaign and Advocacy. IRV has been directly working with grassroots community especially indigenous and dalits communities also with partner organizations. We also work closely with civil society, academician, local elected bodies and development activists.
