Vue d'ensemble
Girl Up India
Since 2018, Girl Up has expanded and grown to include a robust community of more than 12,000 passionate youth changemakers in 800+ clubs in India spanning 26 states and union territories in the country. Since the launch of the movement in India, our youth members have engaged in conversations and advocacy actions rooted in feminist and democratic values. This expansion has been a result of dedicated on-the-ground efforts and sustained virtual interactions over the past five years. This has resulted in youth members taking up gender equality as a goal in their schools, colleges, and communities, driving over 2,500 local-level efforts and actions to advance girls’ skills, rights, and opportunities.
Girl Up Clubs regularly undertake activities in their communities to create change at the micro and macro level. They have been involved in creating and distributing resources for girls to continue their education by providing refurbished mobile phones, stationery kits, sanitary pads while also creating systemic changes for sustainable impact. In 2019, Girl Up Sakhi organised the Menses Not Offences campaign at the Delhi High Court and successfully fundraised more than INR 2.5 Lakhs (US$ 3100) to support 350 menstruators with one year’s supply of menstrual kits.

Pleins feux sur les clubs
During Transgender Awareness Week 2023, Girl Up अbaadh visited Mitr Trust, a sanctuary for trans people, to extend their support to the community and share stories, laughter, joy and solidarity. Their commitment transcended the visit, and following this they fundraised over INR 35,000 for the Trust. By spotlighting the challenges faced by trans people through initiatives like this, they strive to create a more inclusive society, igniting change and illuminating pathways to equality.
Participating in this campaign was amazing. It gave me the opportunity to visit a shelter home for trans people, understand the challenges they face daily and how we, as allies, can support them. This experience has really empowered me to be an advocate for change and take action.

Aditi Arora (elle/il)
COUNTRY DIRECTOR
Aditi a commencé son parcours Girl Up en 2018 en tant que responsable nationale pour l'Inde. Tout au long de son parcours, elle s'est heurtée à des haussements de sourcils lorsqu'elle tentait d'établir des connexions avec des écoles et des collèges, et on lui demandait constamment "pourquoi pas Boy Up ?". Malgré cela, Aditi a fait croître Girl Up India école par école, club par club, avec maintenant plus de 600 clubs de jeunes à travers 25 États et territoires de l'Union. Les membres de Girl Up l'ont aidée à comprendre le leadership, la signification de la communauté, et à travailler avec gentillesse et compassion.
