By conducting camps, VOICE4Girls works to empower marginalised adolescent girls in government and low-cost private schools in India, it said.

Executive director Anusha Bharadwaj said as VOICE’s roots continue to reach the crevices of the communities, its impact and purpose becomes clearly visible in the sector. “VOICE’s journey is the amalgamation of stories and experiences of adolescent girls, who are ready to take on the world,” Anusha added.
