Gender Justice
“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights […]. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms […], without distinction of any kind […].” – The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Articles 1 and 2
Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung stands firmly within the tradition of women´s movements. RLS South Asia has developed a dedicated gender justice component that focuses on gender equity within the context of India and across the region.
We engage in short-term collaborations to achieve actions through partnerships and alliances. We lay emphasis on supporting local, regional and global networks and platforms, that are rights-based and inclusive. Our approach includes identifying opportunities to engage with and support projects connected to gender and rights.
We approach gender justice related topics through the effective use of workshops, seminars, research and academic writing. We also actively invest in innovative learning methodologies and experimental activities such as festivals or youth conclaves to diversify our outreach. Our gender justice component intersects with existing projects supported within the fields of labour, agriculture and social transformation. We value collaborations that take issues of access, inclusion, awareness building and advocacy into account.
