“This contribution from Japan and the US is important to build a safe and inclusive city in New Delhi, where women and girls can live a life free from violence, and can exercise their fundamental rights and freedoms, including their right to the city,” said John Beed, Director of the USAID Mission in India.
The programme builds on an ongoing partnership with the Government of Delhi, UN agencies and civil society organisations.
“We will empower women and provide them with innovative safety measures to prevent violence, and also engage with men and boys for transformative action,” said Rebecca Tavares, representative, UN Women's office.
The US and Japan are actively engaged with UN Women in promoting women's security and empowerment worldwide.
