About Breakthrough

Breakthrough was founded in 1999 with the mission of using arts and culture to bring human rights issues – especially violence and discrimination against marginalised groups – into mainstream conversation and inspire a critical mass of people to take action for change. Its award-winning music albums and campaigns have won innumerable awards and have stirred unprecedented discussion across India about women’s rights and brought the problem of domestic violence out from behind closed doors. Earlier partnerships with the Ministry of Women and Child Development for dissemination of our media and IEC products ensure that the messaging reached large numbers. This can be seen in the case of our Bell Bajao campaign, which reached 130 million in Phase I and 110 million in Phase II. The support was received pro bono and is estimated to be worth INR 150 million. The Ministry has adopted Breakthrough’s Mission Hazaar campaign on preventing sex selection under its flagship “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” campaign and is disseminating the TV spots, curriculum, and communication guide in 12 Indian languages.

Breakthrough’s current work spans 5 states on transforming gender norms to prevent Violence against Women & Girls and exploring the interlinkages between its various manifestations. Breakthrough makes innovative use of media, arts, and technology, including digital and mobiles, leadership development and community mobilisation to activate a critical mass of people who will deliver the culture change needed to make violence against women and girls unacceptable. Centre to this is a gender equity curriculum, called “Taron Ki Toli” that builds gender-equitable views among adolescents 11-18 years old, in school and in the community. Breakthrough uses leadership development to build capacities of 15-25-year-olds to transform themselves and recruit others to make violence against women and girls unacceptable. It also works in the community with influencers and gatekeepers to shift norms to prevent violence and build values for girls and women. Media and arts infuse all our work and building evidence is a strong focus. Strategic partnerships with governments is key – currently partnering with the Department of Education, Government of Punjab to apply a gender lens to middle school curriculum across government schools. Currently, reaching 573,000 adolescents and their communities to prevent violence against women and promote a culture of human rights, Breakthrough plans to reach 2 million adolescents over the next few years.
