MITRA: Men’s Initiatives for Transforming Relationships through Action

MITRA functions as a resource centre driving practice around work with men and boys. It operationalizes and supports different approaches to engaging men and boys within a rights based framework for promoting ‘positive’ masculinities and gender justice at the community level.

MITRA promotes national and regional discussions and exchange of lessons on this issue and operates through a broad alliance of women’s rights and social justice allies. It acts as a bridge between activists, organizations, institutions, researchers, media and others working on women’s rights and social justice issues.

The key activities of MITRA include providing training and capacity building, supporting grassroots implementation of projects with men and boys, supporting campaigns and building and sharing knowledge on different approaches and aspects of work on men and boys. See About Us

Ek Saath Campaign

The Ek Saath National Campaign engages men and boys as partners for gender justice in changing gender social norms that are discriminatory. Ek Saath in Hindi means ‘together’ and here it denotes both partnership between men and women as well as that of men with other men for ending violence and discrimination against women and girls. The campaign is based on the principle of togetherness to change social norms.

Vision: Ek Saath national campaign  is based on the belief that if we want to change the situation for women it is time to shift the onus of change from those who are facing discrimination to those who create and uphold gender discriminatory social norms.

Gender equality is a vision for the whole of society and men must become equal champions of gender justice.
