About Jagori

Jagori was established in 1984. An active member of the Indian feminist and women’s movement from the early eighties, Jagori has since deployed its feminist and rights-based discourse and praxis among the wide-ranging civil society network that it is rooted in.

Jagori works with women living on the margins of society, in urban and rural areas, on issues of ending violence against women, rights and entitlements, leadership development and deepening feminist consciousness. From pioneering the feminist training methodology in India and designing feminist resources targeted at rural and/or neo-literate women, to developing evidence based strategies for the Safe Cities programme in India,  Jagori has developed holistically over the decades. Its multi-pronged spectrum of feminist intervention includes:

• Action research studies
• Social and safety audits
• Counselling and referral services for survivors of violence
• Para-legal work
• Capacity building and sensitization of stakeholders
• Community leadership building in urban resettlement colonies

Simultaneously, Jagori’s thematic canvass comprises intersecting and crucial issues such as women’s safety in public spaces, impact of VAW on women’s health and well-being, rights of women workers in the informal sector including domestic workers, public infrastructure, essential services and gender sensitive governance.

What Jagori offers is a flexible and supportive work environment, along with potentially rewarding opportunities to learn and contribute in situations ranging from grassroots to policy.
