Women perform 66% of the world’s work, produce 50% of the food - but earn 10 percent of the income.
Every day 1,000 women die giving life - one woman every 90 seconds; 99% of these deaths occur in the developing world.
Women represent 70% of the world's poor and two thirds of the world's 776 million illiterate adults.
If you educate a man,
You educate one person

If you educate a woman,
You educate a whole family.
Indian Proverb

Centre for the Study of Social Change (CSSC)

CSSC is one of IFPD's partner organisations in India. It launched and manages the WIN project in Mumbai, which IFPD has been actively supporting since 2001.

CSSC, a voluntary Indian institution created in 1972, is a registered organisation (registration number F-2430/BOM/262) officially approved by the Indian government.

In practical terms, CSSC aims at encouraging the broad, integrated development of men, women and children to bring about social change by and through them, and allow them to better face the problems of today's and tomorrow's India. This development process unfolds on various levels, such as health, (informal) education, training, culture and humanism.
