SAK’s mission is to facilitate empowerment of women especially from poor and marginalized communities living in distress conditions through a process of counseling, awareness, mobilization, networking, research and advocacy in a time bound manner to help women address their issues of discrimination and exploitation and ensure gender justice in all walks of life. And it is to be ensured that this gender justice is achieved in most democratic and non-violence ways and by building linkages with national and international similar minded civil society and UN system to make an impact and local and wider level.

The founder and present chairperson of the organization Dr. Neelam Gorhe is a seating Member of Legislative Council of Maharashtra State and has been a member of numerous committees of State Government from early 1990s including the State women's Commission which was set by State in 1994 to draft State Women's' Policy. She takes up women's issues, appropriate enforcement of laws and policies concerning women and demand progressive acts for a gender just society.

A few of us had the privilege of meeting Dr. Neelam Gorhe and her SAK team during her recent visit for a UN conference in New York.

We were mesmerized by the dedication and empathy of the whole SAK team, including her daughter Mukta Karandikar who will join us on Saturday.
