We are committed to work towards ensuring gender justice for all, especially for women and girls, and building gender-egalitarian communities.
Dignified and rightful living free from all forms of discrimination, abuse, atrocities, and violence is a human right that all individuals deserve universally. However, gaps and gender disparities continue to exist across regions and cultural contexts. Gender inequality, discriminatory social norms and oppression hinder access to resources and opportunities for growth and development, which have a lasting impact on an individual’s ability to access health, education, employment, and overall development of decision-making process. This disparity continues to affect millions of lives, often beyond the binaries of men and women, although statistically, women and girls are the most disadvantaged.

Through our program interventions and knowledge-exchange platforms, we are working on the issues of Gender, DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion), Youth & Adolescents, and Social Norms.
We strive for gender equality and equity through bridging the gendered divide and facilitate empowerment-focussed life journeys in the communities and regions we serve.
