Priya* and Lekisha*, residents at a women’s shelter in South India, proudly wear gold chains around their necks. Through regular work in the vocational training opportunities offered at the shelter and mentorship on financial awareness and saving, both women were able to save enough money to purchase their first necklaces.

In a place where gold jewelry is a cultural status marker and a notable savings investment, this is a significant accomplishment for these survivors of domestic violence who are continuing to discover their individual worth.
