Why visually impaired women and girls have to be a most caring humanitarian service to protect them from disasters?India is prone to many kinds of disasters and impacts of climate change. Its 70 million people have to be mainstreamed in the process of preparedness for disasters.Saritsa Foundation recognizes that out of large population of disabled, blind people, especially visually impaired women and girls are most vulnerable in disasters and priorities their preparedness for past 14 years. They are mostly poor and live in most pathetic environment of slums or temporary hutments in urban and rural areas in India. They are easy targets for loss of lives, health and hygiene problems, facing traumas and sexual violence

with little help. The most vital factor is well identified that no one considers it important to mainstream them in the process of planning, education, decision making and preparing them to cope with disasters and adaptation to climate change. This recognizes the most important factor for empowerment of women and girls to cope with disasters.

Saritsa Foundation begins its mission with a first workshop of the year for them.
