Projects & Programmes
Gender Equality Awareness Programme
Angels in the Field is conducting Gender Equality awareness programmes on work places, Schools and colleges. Gender awareness raising aims at increasing general sensitivity, understanding and knowledge about gender (in) equality. Awareness rising is a process which helps to facilitate the exchange of ideas, improve mutual understanding and develop competencies and skills necessary for societal change. Gender awareness raising means providing reliable and accessible information to build a better understanding of gender equality as a core value of democratic societies. As a gender- mainstreaming method, gender awareness raising is crucial for integrating a gender perspective into policies, programmes, projects and services that respond to the different needs of women and men. Gender awareness raising aims to promote and encourage a general understanding of gender- related challenges, for instance, violence against women and the gender pay gap. It also aims to show how values and norms influence our reality, reinforce stereotypes and support the structures that produce inequalities. To provide basic facts, evidence and arguments on various topics relating to gender equality to increase awareness and knowledge about gender (in) equality; To foster communication and information exchange so as to improve mutual understanding and learning about gender (in) equality; To mobilise communities and society as a whole to bring about the necessary changes in attitudes, behaviours and beliefs about gender equality.

Democratic Development and Human rights Awareness Programmee
Citizenship Education can be defined as ‘educating children, from early childhood, to become clear-thinking and enlightened citizens who participate in decisions concerning society and the nation.’ UNESCO
We believe that India is only as good as its citizens. To empower young people to be the very best they can be, so that India is the very best it can be.
When citizens participate enthusiastically in exercising their rights and engaging with authorities at all levels to solve community problems, more issues are resolved and more is achieved. Our rights exist to give us individual freedoms, but also so we can use them to tackle issues that affect groups of various types, and make well-informed decisions about our country’s future. Further, it is important to promote values of justice, equality, and diversity over divisive beliefs that discourage the full integration of pluralistic societies like ours.
People who live by these democratic values and engage continuously with communities, authorities, and institutions to bring about change in societies are what we call active citizens .
We aim to instil in young people, critical knowledge, values, attitudes and skills to engage with authority and community to secure their rights and entitlements and to understand that responsibilities are equally important and go hand in hand with rights. This is done through Citizenship and Life Skills Education in schools, colleges, and more.
Human rights are the result of humanity’s increasing and persistent demand for dignity, respect, justice, protection and freedom-all needed for a decent human existence

Enhance the knowledge and understanding of human rights.
Foster attitudes of tolerance, respect, solidarity, and responsibility.

Road Safety Awareness Programmee
Angels in the Field had given more importance to educate and awareness on Road safety methods awareness programme. Road Safety is a very serious issue today since every person uses the road in some form of the other. Poor, rich, young, old everyone uses the road. Right from birth till death (and even after, in a funeral) everyone uses the road. Can you remember a single day when you have not used the road? That would happen only if you are sick or stay put at home without moving out at all. Even if you are challenged (physically, mentally, visually) you will be using the road. Your use could be active (directly driving or riding or walking) or passive (being driven in a vehicle as a passenger). So the point Angels in the Field trying to imply is that every person needs to be educated on proper road usage and safe road behavior.
Huge amount of education and awareness needs to be spread on road safety. Angels in the Field be done in several ways:
- Road safety education could be made part of school and college curriculum, irrespective of the course or field of study.
- There should be refresher courses for all driver categories to keep them abreast of new developments in the field and sensitize them about their responsibilities towards passengers.
- Safety video should be shown at the start of every bus journey (especially Volvo buses) like it is done for flights.
- Regular and sustained campaign should be done in villages and rural areas about the risks on the roads and how to stay safe.

Angels in the Field has been spreading the message on consumer awareness and rights of the consumers in Prakasam District Markapur Urban and Rural areas. We effort to educate the consumers about their rights. The market is constantly being flooded with new products and services, making it difficult for consumers to choose the right products. Consumer awareness is about asking questions, to learn the specifics of a product or service. It is about comparing products and services from different sellers to learn more information. It is about having the freedom to choose what best suits consumer needs and will not harm the consumer. Consumers are not without rights and consumer awareness is about advancing these rights.
Consumers do not have to silently accept substandard quality products, poor service, billing errors, late deliveries and unordered merchandise. Consumers have the right to speak up and voice their dissatisfaction. If problems cannot be resolved with the seller, they can seek recourse from state and local consumer protection offices. Companies take advantage of the consumers’ ignorance or reluctance to ask questions about the product or to take action in case of defect/ deficiency in the goods or the services and their fore the seller or company continue to cheat the people. Of late, we have been asking people to raise their voices against such malpractices and ask for the right value of their money.
