In Rajasthan, C3 partners with the Rajasthan State Rural Livelihood Mission to engage men and boys as partners in advancing gender equality, and to strengthen community-level systems, including women's collectives supported by Rajasthan SRLM, that can identify and respond to safety risks faced by women and girls in public and private spaces.
