Quotes
Acid attack survivors have a difficult time even being accepted in society, let alone getting work. Their trauma is made much more difficult to endure by a culture that restricts their development. In Lucknow and Agra, 'Sheroes Hangout' has two branches that accommodate and employ 30 survivors. Our objective, however, is much broader; we want to assist as many survivors as possible. This is where Sheroes 2.0 comes into play. The kiosk centre will have an immediate impact on survivors' lives, taking them one step closer to the life they've always wanted.

The concept of getting the 2 kiosks run by acid assault survivors is pushed by a social trigger as they’re most susceptible. It’s an extension to our social initiative drive wherein now we have deployed transgenders in one in every of metro stations at a ticket counter and two pink metro stations the place all work is being managed by ladies,”

Acid attacks are a reality in the world, and the survivors often give up on their lives. We want to help them emerge from their past by providing employment. We invest in their training to prepare them mentally and skill-wise to face the world.
SHEROES 2.0
We have finalised a tender bid to run the KIOSK at the NOIDA International Stadium located at Sec 21, which was offered by the NOIDA Authority, to add one more initiative to the series of Sheroes Hangout. As a result, the Chhanv Foundation is launching SHEROES 2.0, which will provide employment to six additional survivors at the Stadium. These survivors will be employed in two KIOSKS as part of the project. Acting as a safe shade upon the survivors, the impact of this project will be extended beyond the kiosk center - into the lives of acid attack survivors as It extend more employment opportunities and a viable presence to create a mass awareness in Delhi NCR.
Survivors of acid attacks have a hard time even being accepted in society, let alone finding work. Because of the society that limits their development, their trauma becomes even more difficult to bear. 'Sheroes Hangout' has two units in Lucknow and Agra that house and employ 30 survivors. But our mission goes beyond that; we want to help as many survivors as possible. This is where Sheroes 2.0 enters the picture. The kiosk centre will make an immediate difference in the lives of survivors, bringing them one step closer to the life they have always desired.
