‘DEVI’: Devotional Empowerment Voluntary Initiative.
Arising from the women’s conference held earlier this year and part of Lotus Women and Krishna Care, an initiative called the DEVI Project was launched at the Manor’s Janmashtami festival. ‘DEVI’ is an acronym for Devotional Empowerment Voluntary Initiative and its aims are to empower, inspire, connect and protect women and girls. DEVI’s activities are broken down into the following initiatives: • DEVI Empower, to offer training and workshops to women; • DEVI Events, to arrange scheduled events throughout the year; • DEVI Connect, to network with women of other faith groups; • DEVI Survey, to conduct annual surveys among women; and • DEVI Protect, to offer a referralbased service for women facing domestic violence. DEVI is non-sectarian and seeks to help all women irrespective of belief, religion or race.
