Our webinars and events serve as a platform for civil society organizations, government, funders, experts, gatekeepers, community members to connect in real-time and interact openly on issues that impact adolescents. Sharing on-ground experiences, data and insights, we hope, enables the sector to improve their understanding, create best practices and work collectively to adopt and implement innovative and scalable programs

Adolescents are at the center of everything we do. We believe that for young people to reach their full potential, it is imperative that they are aware of their rights, can raise their issues, can share their stories, and are empowered to make informed and positive life choices.

Shining the spotlight

We proud to announce that Dasra was selected to be an Action Coalition commitment maker at the Generation Equality Forum, Paris. We announced our commitment to enhance youth leadership in SRHR under the Bodily Autonomy and Reproductive Rights (SRHR) Action Coalition.

In order to advance the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and bodily autonomy for India’s young women and adolescent girls, some of the most vulnerable groups in the world, Dasra will:  

  • Facilitate the establishment of an inclusive and representative youth-led coalition of 1M young Indians to organise, amplify and funnel up their voices to decision makers towards improving  access to sexual and reproductive health and rights and contraception as a foundational pillar to improved quality of life. 
  • Influence more funding to support participatory and collaborative efforts aimed at increasing agency and decision-making in young women, ending child marriage and ensuring completion of secondary education, all of which lead to ending teenage pregnancy. We aim to espouse a multi-stakeholder lens to engage allies, build an enabling environment and empower young women to make their own informed choices about their bodies and futures
