My rights, My identity (Mere Haq Meri Pehchaan)

'Mere Haq Meri Pehchaan (My rights, My identity)' looks at a gendered understanding of livelihoods focusing on women farmers. Through a pilot implemented in select districts of Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, UN Women and its partner ANANDI have been supporting government functionaries of the National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) to ensure that its design, implementation and monitoring is more gender-responsive.

NRLM is the largest government programme working exclusively with rural women aiming to mobilise them in a phased manner into Self Help Groups. The mandate of the mission is to create strong and dynamic institutions of the poor, which shall over time form collectives and undertake specialised livelihood functions, providing its members benefits of collective enterprise and a platform to organise for collective action to claim rights and entitlements.
