Shadhika works towards gender justice and believes in a future where each person in India can choose their own path to meaning, purpose, and happiness. This vision can only be fully realized when a person’s gender identity is seen as an asset in their community and the world at large, and their unique contributions are embraced. Shadhika aims to abate gender-based discrimination and violence in the social systems surrounding each person by focusing on three core areas of intervention: 1. Investing in the transformative power inherent in each individual girl 2. Investing in the wisdom and innovation of grassroots leadership to create local solutions 3. Cultivating allyship to address power and resource imbalances locally #WhenSheLeadsChangeFollows
