The city of Ahmedabad of Gujarat Province is a highly sensitive city when it comes to inter-religious violence. Parwaaj Cooperation City (CC) is a community-based organization working for women's empowerment and communal harmony in this context. Most of its members have suffered personal losses during the 2002 Gujarat Genocide, and since then, have joined different civil society organizations and worked for peace bringing leadership among women. Their activities include training, focused group discussions, and campaigns. Parwaaj also has a network all over Gujarat. Members actively work for women and children affected by violence.
