In the wake of Dysco’s collaboration with MIXX for Mind the Gap, people are expressing interest to explore the genderisation of jobs and its adverse effects on us all. Increasing domestic and international pressure to improve the condition of women’s empowerment and gender issues, has enhanced the ability of NGOs to widen their scope of work. Dysco has curated a list of organisations in India that are taking strong strides towards ‘closing the gap’ – Akshara, GenderAtWork, Commit2Change, CORO, Sayfty, CARE, and Ayzh.
