Hamari Shakti The Hindi phrase "Hamari Shakti" means our strength. What is the inspiration behind this organization? How do we aim to help? What is the meaning behind the logo?

Our organization aims to empower young women in India with the tools necessary to defend themselves against sexual assault and abuse. The anger and frustration I felt after hearing about the Hathras rape case in India was the inspiration behind this organization. Our organization wants women to believe in their capabilities to fight for themselves. As we provide women with the means of defending themselves, we provide India with the means of developing itself. We are currently working on providing female students in India with the pepper sprays which can be used to protect themselves from assaults. We will train them on how to properly use pepper spray and will work closely with various organizations in India to see where our help is needed the most. The hand in the logo has bangles, a form of jewelry worn by women in India. The face of the tiger has a bindi, or dot, which is a symbol used by women in India to represent beauty or marriage. We aim to show that women are capable of fighting for themselves, and we aim to go against the common phrase used by men,"Maine haath mein churiyan nahi dali hui" (I am not wearing bangles), which implies that a person wearing bangles is unable to fight. Rather, we say, "In churiyon vale hathon ko kamzor mat samajhana", meaning, "just because I am wearing bangles, do not think I am weak". Proper-use instructions for pepper/chilli spray
1. It is not a toy. Understand proper use.
2. Use for self-defense only.
3. Defense must be proportionate to danger. Local organizers are to provide instructions in local languages as deemed necessary.
