See the Invisible Girl!

Invisible Girl Project (IGP) exists to help people see the invisible girl.  In India, over 50 million girls and women are "invisible"--they are missing from India's population.*  Other girls and women are not recognized or given the value that they deserve in Indian culture.  Here at IGP, you can learn more about these discrimination issues.  Read the stories of changed lives, of girls who are now seen.  Learn how you can help make a difference and help others to see that girls and women in India should no longer be invisible.  

Our Mission

The mission of IGP is to combat sex determination abortion, the murder of little girls once they are born, and other discriminations against girls in India.  We support existing organizations and indigenous people that are working to rescue and care for unborn, newborn, and young girls, as well as striving to change the perceived value of females in the Indian culture. We believe that long-term change occurs through education, trade training, and the development of micro-finance initiatives that will better equip and empower Indian women. 

Our Purpose

• Awareness—We seek to increase global awareness of the various discriminations against Indian girls and women through speaking engagements and social media.
• Housing/Food/Water—We increase the capacity of our field partners by helping meet their financial needs, so that they can provide safe, healthy and loving environments in which young Indian girls can flourish.
• Education—We provide financial support for young Indian girls so that they can receive quality primary, secondary, and even college educations.
• Trade Training—We support indigenous organizations that give women opportunities to be trained in a trade and earn a living for themselves and their families.
