Kuviraa strengthens capacities of girls and women towards civic leadership

Agenda

About Us

Strengthening civic and political leadership of girls and women towards a representative and inclusive Indian democracy

In 2023, we surveyed 600 Indian youth (ages 14 -22 ) in partnership with researchers from UCLA and found that girls report being less interested and engaged in politics than boys and cite fewer opportunities to participate in politics. To bridge this gap, we aim to work with adolescent girls and young women to strengthen their civic knowledge and create opportunities for them to be involved in democratic processes. We are a nonpartisan organisation reduces entry barriers for adolescent girls and young women’s civic and political engagement across India.

 

We aim to strengthen knowledge, create opportunities and build communities for girls and women, equipping them to meaningfully engage with issues of democracy and gender.
