About Us

We are an organisation working to create a cultural shift and make discrimination and violence against girls and women unacceptable. We also support and work regarding the education of girls in India. Experiences and stories are our tools of choice, as we endeavour to make the subject of gender-based violence mainstream. We speak to our large and diverse audience in a language they can relate to, using mediums they respond to - such as music, new media and popular culture.
