CEQUIN (Centre for Equity and Inclusion) works through a rights-based and sports for development approach to address structural violence, and shape gender-attitudes and beliefs before they solidify into social norms.
CEQUIN’s Kickstart Equality program harnesses sports as a tool to transform gender norms in Delhi’s resettlement colonies. Targeting adolescent girls aged 10–21, alongside boys, women, and community stakeholders, the program cultivates leadership, teamwork, and agency while directly addressing GBV as the key barrier to women’s participation in public life. By collectivizing communities and building local allies, CEQUIN aims to reshape attitudes and create safer, more equitable spaces for girls and women.
