She Creates Change,
Change.org, Bangalore, IN
Women from across India gather to share, learn and run campaigns on everything from health access to parental rights.
“29 fiery women. 5 days intense training. Every single minute helped us delve within, deeper, to learn something new, something more about ourselves and those around us which transformed all of us into bold, fascinating fireflies all set to light up the world. Let there be light. And there will be light. We are the light.” – Jincy
On November 9th, 29 women came together for 5 days in Bangalore India to take part in Change.org Foundation’s first-ever ‘She Creates Change Learning Lab’. Hailing from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai and across the country, these passionate changemakers were driven to take action. Some are already leading national, agenda-setting campaigns while others are still at the start of their social change journey.
Campaigns who took part in the training include Masooma Ranalvi fighting to end FGM, Subarna Ghosh whose campaign exposed dangerous levels of C-sections, and Priyanka Gupta changing laws for single parents.
Led by the Change.org India team, She Creates Change is a new year-long program of support, training and community building for women campaigners across India. Recognizing that campaigning can feel inaccessible and intimidating to many people, the program starts off with a 5 day ‘Learning Lab’ residential.
