Rinku Mecheri, Chairperson FLO Chennai:

“VACYA is part of FICCI FLO Chennai’s constant effort to support women find their equal standing in society and help make them economically empowered. FLO is today a voice of women at large and VACYA is an attempt to amplify this voice and make it relevant. The instances of domestic violence have increased, given the work from home scenario and we are committed to help women, with the support of leading corporates in our state. This initiative seeks support from corporate organisations in Tamil Nadu who can adopt this cause within their organisations, not only to help their own employees but for affected women in our extended communities.”.
