The Gender Collaborative

The Gender collaboration focuses on: engaging youth from high-risk communities to reduce crime and creating safer, inclusive workspaces, with a focus on women's safety, to promote positive change and gender equality in formal settings. Launched in October 2024, this collaboration has 2 subgroups: - Youth Engagement to Reduce Crime: Aimed at breaking the cycle of crime, this initiative engages with children and young individuals from high-risk communities to prevent further criminal activity and create opportunities for positive change. - Workspace Safety and Gender: Focused on formal workspaces, this initiative aspires to establish standards that prioritize safety, with a central focus on women's experiences, to foster inclusive and secure environments.

As a South Asian woman and defiant feminist, I aspire to integrate my personal politics in my work. I believe in institutional change instigated by advocacy and shift in public policy influenced by movement building and community-led effort. It’s my conviction that aid provided in the form of skill can be of crucial service which is my primary motivation behind being a Catalyst and I bring my feminist fundraising and participatory grant-making skills to the community.

My journey in public administration, policy research, and social impact has been driven by a deep commitment to addressing systemic challenges and empowering communities. With hands-on experience in political consulting, CSR projects, and grassroots mobilization, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of collaboration and innovative solutions in creating sustainable change. My work with IPAC in Bihar for the Jan Suraaj Project, where I tackled the challenges faced by elected women representatives, has underscored the importance of inclusivity and empowerment in governance. Additionally, my involvement in designing capacity-building programs and digital literacy initiatives has strengthened my belief in the potential of education and technology to uplift marginalized groups. Catalyst 2030's mission to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals aligns perfectly with my passion for systemic change and collaborative impact. I am motivated to join this global movement to contribute my expertise in policy development, stakeholder engagement, and social innovation. Together, I believe we can create a more equitable and sustainable world, leaving no one behind.
