Humsafar recently organised a two-day solo theatre performance by Neetu titled “Phoolan Devi Banogi Tum?”, where she shared her own story in a very honest and powerful way.
The first day was with our Sakhi Samuh leaders and community women, and the second day with our Yuva Tarang youth. What made it truly special was how deeply people connected with it. Many women and young people saw their own lives reflected in her story they got emotional, opened up, and shared their own experiences.
It didn’t feel like just a performance; it felt real and personal. It created a space where people felt safe to express themselves and be heard.

We’re really grateful to have hosted something so meaningful and heartfelt.

We organized a session with members of the Yuvti Manch focusing on mental health challenges faced by young girls, including family expectations, exam and career stress, psychosomatic symptoms, and the impact of excessive digital use.
The session also encouraged participants to reflect on setting healthy boundaries in relationships and within families. As part of the workshop, participants engaged in a tote bag painting activity where they creatively expressed their emotions and messages of self-love through art.

Young Girls’ Voices for Justice | Towards CSW70 ✊✨

On 12th December, HUMSAFAR organised a UP-level consultation bringing together 90 participants, including young girls and trans–q***r persons, from 9 districts and 15 different organisations.

This powerful space was created for young voices to share lived experiences, raise concerns, and collectively shape demands around justice, equality, and gender-based rights in the lead-up to CSW70. The consultation highlighted the strength of solidarity, intersectional leadership, and the importance of centering young feminist voices in policy and advocacy spaces.

When young girls speak, justice moves forward. 💜🌈

On Constitution Day, we came together for a day-long workshop to revisit the values enshrined in our Preamble Justice, Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. Dr. Sandeep Pandey led an insightful session, helping youth understand the Constitution in a way that truly connects with their lived realities. Through shared stories and reflections, young people explored how these constitutional ideals resonate with their daily struggles and how the Preamble empowers them to claim their rights and shape a more inclusive, equitable future.

Transgender day of remembrance 🏳️‍🌈🕯️

We recently hosted a Lok Manch ( a dialogue between our community people and local stakeholders) event at Basantkunj sector P, bringing together community members and local leaders to foster open dialogue and collective problem-solving. This platform enables individuals to share their concerns, collaborate on solutions, and drive positive change in their neighborhoods.
By giving people a voice and a seat at the table, we're strengthening democracy and promoting community-led development. We believe that community voices are the driving force behind meaningful change.
