Why gender equity & legal advocacy
Justice that prevents harm, not just responds to it
Women and gender minorities often lack the means, knowledge, or confidence to report violations or seek justice.
Gender-based violence (GBV), domestic violence (DV), and discrimination against women and LGBTQIA+ individuals persist as pervasive issues across India, particularly in underserved rural regions. These injustices stem from entrenched patriarchal norms, social taboos, lack of awareness about rights, and insufficient access to legal support.
That is why interventions are required not just to respond to cases of violence, but to proactively prevent them — by addressing root causes, strengthening institutional responses, and building a culture of equality and justice. ABI acts as a bridge between survivors and support systems, so those affected are heard, protected and empowered.

Improve how schools, health systems and local bodies respond to GBV.
3
Build a culture of equality
Use rights-based education and family dialogue to shift attitudes for good.

We stand with those most exposed to gender injustice — and with the people who can help change it.
