Aparajita strives to build a clear, evidence-based understanding of the problem — and to identify practical, scalable solutions to address it.
● #1 — Survey
We Conducted a 3-City Survey on Sexual Harassment
To understand women’s lived experiences in public spaces across Jaipur, Bengaluru and Delhi — what they face, how often it happens, and why most cases go unreported.
● #2 — Research
We Published a Landscape Report on GBV in India
To map existing efforts and prevalence of gender-based violence across prevention, response, and survivor support — and to identify the biggest gaps.
● #3 — Roundtables
We Convened Expert Roundtables
To bring together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to discuss the problem as well as practical, scalable solutions.
● #4 — Funding
