D onor Testimonial

I was introduced to Breakthrough by its former CEO. Then I saw the Bell Bajao campaign and it struck a chord - a simple yet so powerful message and an answer to the question all of us have: “What can I do?” Or “How can I help?” Breakthrough’s on the ground work on young girls and women in states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand resonate with me. I especially like the fact that it involves and brings in boys and young men into the discourse. Social change is difficult, girls and women are changing; it’s the young boys and men who need to change.

~ Mr. Anirudha Dutta, Author & Analyst

For me, freedom is about being able to live with dignity, make your own choices, and dream without fear. Sadly, many women and girls in our country are still denied these basic freedoms because of deeply rooted gender inequality. I support Breakthrough because they are working to change mindsets where it matters most—within families, schools, and communities. Real independence is not just about political freedom; it is about creating a society where every girl can grow up safe, respected, and empowered. I am proud to support Breakthrough in making that vision a reality.

FAQs

How does Breakthrough solve the overwhelming problem of gender-based violence?

Breakthrough works to shift social norms that limit women and girls from reaching their full potential. We work with adolescents and young people aged 11-25 years, to encourage aspiration, agency, leadership and negotiation through our work in schools and communities. We also support them with media tools that shape public narratives.

This has resulted in a generation of young people shifting to think and act in confident, intentional ways. Girls are negotiating to stay in school, delaying marriage, exercising choices around life goals, stepping into non-traditional career paths. Boys are stepping up to contribute, support and uphold equal rights for all.

What will Breakthrough do with my donation?

Your contribution will help us run programmes and campaigns against gender-based violence across 9 states of India. We are a not-for-profit organisation dependent on your invaluable donations to make all our work possible.

How do I ensure my donations are used properly?

Being a non-profit organisation, Breakthrough is legally bound to audit all its accounts by both internal as well as external auditors. Find the reports here.
